Be Still For a Moment

Be still for a moment
And put down your burden
Right here by My feet, dear
Close your eyes, have no fear.

Be still for a moment
In the evening silence
Listen; open your ears
Sounds of music to hear.

Be still for a moment
Hear the wind's soft lament
It's the sound of My voice
Trying to breach the void.

Be still for a moment
And hear the bird's lament
Cries for his mate, missing
As you I am missing.

Be still for a moment
Smell the sweetest fragrance
Of blooms in the wind's blows
It is My love that flows.
