Be Still

A two-word command

Shut down the internal monologue

No thoughts of appointments, deadlines, or jobs allowed

Turn off your thoughts.

Strive to BE in the moment

Invite stillness to reside in mind and body

Listen in silence for God to speak, or

Listen to baby babble, humming car tires, and barking dogs 


Do not fear silence

Learn to exist in the silent moment

Absorbing everything that surrounds you 

Without seeking to identify, or classify

Savor your surroundings

allow yourself to FEEL the stillness of

BEING alive.

Still

a silent form

trembling in pain

intently remembering

leaking grief tracing

long lines of fluid emotion

still missing you
