Unflappable

This is a season for which
I have no reference,
but it has come at a time
when I feel untethered
in some kind of holy way,

which is hard to describe.
It's like being on the water
in a sailboat, with no clue
how to trim the free-flapping sail,

yet being held firmly
by a deep underlying feeling
of peace about the wind's heart.

It feels like “Peace, be still!”
would be an unwelcome command

preventing a sacred destination.
