STILLNESS HOLDS

STILLNESS HOLDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
nestled inside
one raindrop—
stillness holds
fur soft, eyes closed
earth’s heartbeat slows
world suspended
calm transcends
all storms

the picture came first....I can't seem to help myself...when an image catches my eyes or stirs and emotion, I sketch a poem. Glad you liked both the poem and image...appreciate your visit, hugs, Sara
