Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

Be Still, My Love

Be still,
my love...
You cannot run
This unravelling...
Is now done
 
Be still,
my love...
I found you
In forests of richest green
Picking wildflowers of blue
 
Be still,
my love...
Come to the fire
In a deepening night
Watch the stars above
 
Be still,
my love...
The heart quickening
Under starlight
Stay with me till morning
 
Be still,
my love...
No more running
Such beauty and strength
I have found wanting
 
Be still,
my love...
For, now you know
A quickening heart
A soft glow
 
Be still,
my love...
In a dawn sky
Filled with colour
Is a place for you and I
 
Be still,
my love...
You cannot run
This travelling...
Is now done
