Stillness

Stillness In places where we sometimes roam For which or whatever reasons Things can be beautiful or grim It’s just like with the seasons In places where it’s dark and cold And lonely so you will The eeriness of such a place Will force you to be still And stillness, as far as I know Will do a soul no harm But rather, as so many found It works as an alarm ’Cause the stillness will confront you It will put the truth on chart It will air the musty places And it will lay bare your heart It helps you to see eye to eye The things you found too scary Or the things of which you should have been A little bit more wary But lack of will or want of heart Has kept you dazed and captive Although the state that you were in Was dangerous and deceptive So the darkness gives you ample chance To mend and to restore To come into the light resolved To seek the dark no more.
