it is time to be still
to listen to my heart beathear my breath
listen to the rhythm of my soul
let the spirit of life that
surrounds
be a part of mei can dance by standing still
sing my song without yelling
i can hear the mountain move
and the trees swayas the wind plays in their lair
and the streams and rivers
titillate their very soul
in my stillness i can hear the
sparkle
of star dust fallonto my path where i reside
it calls to me letting me know
it is the melody of my soul
i can sense the energy we call
dark
that holds the stars in placein its universe light plays
and it calls out to me...
‘be still my friend and you will
hear me call, you will see my soul,
you will take my hand and i shall
lead you to your mother land’
it summons me, not now but soon
so i shall stand still and listen,be aware of what is before me
so that i may become one with all
and my soul shall take the journey
in the quiet of night
beautiful. calming. loved these lines: i can dance by standing still
ReplyDeletesing my song without yelling
Such an incredibly beautiful, peaceful poem, warm with the acceptance of the Big Picture. Well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI especially love "I can hear the mountain move."
DeleteThere is movement in the stillness -beautifully composed-takes the reader to a still point where silence can be heard
ReplyDeleteLove it just as much today!!
ReplyDeleteStillness is a wonderful skill to learn - it really eons up the music of the world
ReplyDelete"Night's Journey" is a wonderful title for this piece as it hints at the end of life ("mother land," AND "SUMMONS"). I also feel this refreshment at the end of day, and would love to hone my ability to enter the song during the day as well if I could set aside time for the stillness that hears, that participates. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful song you've written here.
ReplyDeleteI think we each have a song that plays within us - almost like our soul has a tune - why not the stars each have their own song that they sing.
ReplyDeleteYour words are wonderful!
