poem

[Jim Metcalf]

Creative Space
Silence holds the open space
In tension. Striving with its
Own being, creative space
Changes without changing as
Silence grows and tension grows
Until a word is spoken:
Open space. Creative Space.

Tension holds space open now –
Talking tenses listening now.
Will listeners take two feet
And walk, or talkers? The hearts
Are trembling to know what they
Themselves will do. Tension grows.
Open Space, Creative Space.

Talking resolves with listening
As space opens, hearts open.
Listeners caring for talkers,
Talkers for listeners, balance
The caring of a heart for
Another , for self, until
Space opens creatively.
