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
