Merton, Mercy

My inner self 
sequesters health, 
delivers answers
no tongue can unwrap.

Upper shelves
gather dust, willingly.

You shut yourself
away, though still
had things to say.

Made space,
made peace,
made spades
of flying geese.

And followed
them through
the mobius, 
unending whirl
of existence,
which you laid
to rest 

in the silence.
