Turn around

Suzanne Goewert

Possible because it's true
that good's actual substantial goodness
is really never lost—
no disappointing daze, discouraging haze
no murky mental maze
where some semblance of good
might maybe get retrieved
through considerable effort and cost.
Instead, persisting in listening reveals the real—
good itself really actual
spiritually factual
ever included in us
—as us—
as our very being
our composition, constitution, disposition
as divinity's continuous complete
coexistent reflection.
Safe and whole
possible here and now
because of
who and how we really are.

—Suzanne Goewert
