Be still
and count the echoes of the night
listen to the darkness
entertain tranquility
Be still
for a moment in the afternoon
watch the distance from the corner of your eye
tune out the constant drone
Be still
in the morning
see the sun rise over a thousand hills
to envelope a weary world
listen to the earth
dare to do
Be still
in those few moments
of “glad grace”
grab and hold existence
In this stillness….
the heart beats
the world spins
lives are renewed and broken
dreams are acquired
and life continues on….
