Still

2007 There is something powerful about being a busy person and learning to be still

still my soul aches but is at peace

it churns inside a bit but as I quiet it

in comes needed release.

all will be well

you will see all in time

no more will you go through this life

seeing yet half blind

in the stillness of this moonlight hour

my soul listens for the quietness

what do you whisper to me when i am all alone

come into my soul sweet peace

make it your home

bring patience and strength

for the day yet to come

laughter and joy to replace the solemness

of the nightime reverie

of the wide awake dream

of the longing for what I am not sure

but I am close to what it means.

so close my soul is to finding itself

being free to live my life

on the edge of the simplicity

as never before.

where all is condensed to what matters the most

those i love and the world around

it whispers to me

nothing else matters but touching lives

nothing else will satisfy you bring you alive

then to care for others

it all starts in the stillness of who you are.
