Still

Haven’t they seen where time stands still and the sun kisses the morning sky Running free from the break of day, laughter echoing for miles Oh yes, it was easier then, when we were only 10 Spirit alive with tomorrows promise and innocence Watching sunsets disappear and then soon came the years Innocence, memories from an easier time Beauty fades, but not for you, I can see through The soul never weathered and aged like your skin Spirit worn from facing each day without hope The soul renewed, found peace, stayed true Honesty is living life through your soul. Life is more than meets the eye. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder And eyes are the gateway to the soul. Souls which have no color decend unharmed Reality unmasked, the soul of compassion and forgiveness Teach the young that they possess a power To love each other past our cover. When time is gone, the soul remains as the body decays Before the end, slow down, enjoy the still Give your soul to another who truly sees you Taking only what you need to see truth Be still and listen to what remains unspoken
