The Staircase of Stillness

We have created a time

where our air smiles

like a precious gem

found within a storm.

Each spoken sentence

we find to be filled

with purpose,.....

sound and warm.

Regret does not glisten

nor is it placed in this time

dressed up as hurt

impossible to understand.

This is a place

where one can find

the staircase of stillness,

silence at hand.

Showers of love

fall as stars in this time

along the places where we sail

on a subtle breeze.

We can see their reflections

turned inside out......

like a smile

To imagine all reflections become smiles when reversed is a great concept :)

My favorite line, shows that there was nothing but walking towards, nothing but walking towards love. You never cease to stun me with your lovely writes, the word choices and structure, blow me away.
