Wait, Be Still
A few more pieces
fell out from under you today.
Did you feel it ?
I'm sure you didn't see it,
and you probably didn't hear.
Some chips and pebbles
fell almost inaudibly
on the quietly waiting rocks,
and some dropped into the water,
you'd have liked that.
Wait. Just wait right there,
right here.
I cannot let you go.
Some day, but not today.
Be still a while,
you do it so well.
They won't let you go,
they won't let me let you go.
Some day surely,
but I can't let you go today.
