Feather
Life has it's moments
You know, good and the bad
But some of the best times I've ever had
Are those when I've stopped
At the side of the race
And taken a breath
Felt the sun on my face.
For the people that rush,
And yes there are plenty,
Are the fools being chased by a life that is empty
To stop and face fears
That you're missing 'the next'
Will keep you from being
Confused and perplexed
My story is such
I can testify this..
There's a peaceful encounter
A place to find bliss
And it sits in our hearts
Somewhere way deep inside
But to find it you stop, rest and
Step off that ride
Like a feather it settles
Bringing purpose in beauty
So our eyes see the wonder
Of those things that were blurry.
It's the secret of stillness
It's the hope in our hearts
It's the sapling that rises
From precious seeds planted
Way at the start.
And I cannot be stronger
With my words to you now..
There are times when life's storms
Cause the strong trees to bow.
But in stillness and presence
We learn quietly how..
To eliminate hurry
And be present to now.
