Dissolving in the infinite

I have opened all the windows
in my house. 
Eagles fly in and out,
as do any words
that are spoken about me.
Anything my ears might detect,
firsthand or second --
I might give that news
a moment's attention.
and then just let it be
the tiny whiff of smoke it is
dissolving in the infinite.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear these words today. Sometimes I think the infinite comes flying by just when you need it to, like a blanket of calm and peace.
