"Sacred Idleness"

your bid for majesty will
or has
already failed
to open you up
to beauty
instead

melt in “sacred idleness”
have nothing more

to do
just for a while,
let the world
be done to you

this world of heart stopping,
exquisite beauty
this world of unfathomable,
intricate perfection
this world,
this  miraculous  world
that you are too
