Stillness

Stillness but not quiet exsist The roosters sing morn's song Man's motors drown out any silence To hear just nature now long Just a few minutes of quiet A peaceful interlude Soothe a restless worried spirit Regain right attitude As an orange tip of the sun Peeks through cobalt blue clouds And fog's dampness saturates all My thoughts become so loud What, where, how, what if dominates Silence them my soul fill Let the Holy Spirit control Let peace permeate will Finis'

May God's peace be with us all throughout all our days. To find it though is not that easy. Life get's to be a maze. Peace.

My dear Sara, the only stillness we can find is by accepting whatever happens around you, tell your thoughts to relax, and peaceful moments you will find. Have a great day, a beautiful deep poem. It tells a story. Have fun. Good night. Terry
