In the Stillness
In the stillness lies unbroken
The fragile silence of the day
When a whispering, winter wind
Comes in to rest from play
In the silence of the wood
Lies the peace, so hard to find
Lost, then found, as well I could
To collect my heart and mind
In the stillness falls the snow
And nothing else has to matter
Not the chills that come and go
Or the teeth that begin to chatter
In the stillness of the season
I see a cardinal live and thrive
Persistently, and without reason
While the coldest winters drive
In the stillness, not a mile away
There above the treetops I see
Curling woodsmoke hang and stay
From a home that waits for me
In the stillness all is well
Between the heavens and the earth
Take this moment, live it well
And know just what its worth
