What We Need Is Here (Found Within)

The land in the eye is clear
not clouded, like the  
numerical sum of its parts
 
Here, in the ancient waters
free of tallied reasons,
free in the mind's vastness.
 
Fearing not the infinite,
Heaven within The Earth
hides in a hill, unremarkable;
 
Faith appears above
as a bird, flying
into a sky which closes
 
Around it hiding reasons
to try for that which it needs.
Its abandon, it finds,
is hidden but everywhere,
embedded in everything.
