Being Still

Being Still To be still here with you is the best place to be Listening to my heart Inside you I take a peak From whence comes this emotion of kindness I see A touch of a rose petal Or a dainty daisy Kindness is creeping back in I sense its warm caress I just walked out of a day of complete aloneness How could all the joy be robbed all at once from my soul A boa constrictor came into the night and tried to swalllow me whole He promised me today that he would show me who my true friends were He promised me this day to be still and know that He is near Listening to my heart and unglueing from its hinges Every past mistake as my life sits on the edge Come back now Please don’t leave me I am sitting alone here with packed suitcases Not knowing what I will come home to Hearing in the stillness of the moment that I will turn around And return back unto you It is a new day and with a new day comes a rainbow This third day of my fast I am expecting a miracle Place all the shattered pieces of my heart back together now Replace the dreams that the enemy tried to steal away now Love is creeping in again Slowly but surely Taking away the darkness that I was suffocated with earlier I thank you for this experience for it showed me something great That you in the center of my heart is where I want you to be Gwendolen Rix 7-30-14
