Here is number nine:

Peace Emergence

There is a moment
When from the inside of a circle
The horizon seems to be out of reach.

The circle seems to be bound
Only where the earth and sky touch
Where the sand ends and the air begins

At that same moment
Standing outside the circle
Everything seems turned inward

And as you are standing there
You see time curving away from you
Into still darkness.

The boundary between light and dark
Is an illusion
We transcend all the time.

Stepping from one into another
It is clear that the peace of a desert of light
Is the same as the peace of quiet darkness.

Somehow, from the faintest whisper,
A boundary emerges, curving
To mark the unlimited possibilities

That are both contained and placed outside
Included and transcended
Quieted, and set in motion.
