The Morning Is Still

The morning is still
     So is her heart
No wind or breeze
     Nowhere to start

Her babe reclaimed
     End without meaning
A dawn so dark
     No light intervening

The morning is still
     And so is her child
Now as he rests
     In her heart, so mild


In memory of my brother, Jon
