[Written for the Sentinel]

Poise

Serenely firm, thy task attend;
Citadel be!
Let pettiness its rancor spend;
To higher thought do thou ascend,
Thus constantly;
By calm repose, not stress, not plight,
Let others see
How rest in Mind, not human might,
Thy upward reach into the light
Doth profit thee.
