Stillness

Stillness but not quiet exsist
The roosters sing morn's song
Man's motors drown out any silence
To hear just nature now long 

Just a few minutes of quiet
A peaceful interlude 
Soothe a restless worried spirit
Regain right attitude

As an orange tip of the sun
Peeks through cobalt blue clouds
And fog's dampness saturates all
My thoughts become so loud

What, where, how, what if dominates
Silence them my soul fill
Let the Holy Spirit control
Let peace permeate will 

Finis'

May God's peace be with us all throughout all our days. To find it though is not that easy. Life get's to be a maze. Peace.

My dear Sara, the only stillness we can find is by accepting whatever happens around you, tell your thoughts to relax, and peaceful moments you will find. Have a great day, a beautiful deep poem. It tells a story. Have fun. Good night. Terry
