Life is as a picture
it feels like it's at an standstill
but it's forever changing scenes
Dying each day
only to be reborn
created by fire

FOOTLE-me
~~Brian Strand
a deep breath
takes me back
to a world
where time
and beauty
are at a standstill
where peace
and silence
clear my mind

momentum
is at a
momentary
standstill
state of
frustration
has snuck
up behind
my back
so it seems
at the moment
causing a pref
laps within
this present
state of
being
Have a great birthday, dear Syril,
The day of judgment is so close;
Life will be brought to a standstill,
There will be no more highs and lows.

sun greets me warmly
extra humid this morning
air feels muggy
trees at a standstill
not a whisper of a breeze
horrible august
nothing is breathing
flowers praying for some dew
pink crepe myrtle nods
comes another season
i don't know what to make of it
time flies while at a standstill
feeling empty living this illusion
i feel you near yet cannot touch you

We only care what the preacher preaches
As the congregation shouts in our direction
When we are hungry, angry, lonely, tired...
Because we see them out and about, around,
Realizing they are more at a standstill than us...
Taken as an instinct of being
Causing a reluctant air of silence
And coming with forms of mood
Without any sense of control
Bringing mind and body to standstill
Leaving you pacified by your own self
Is a word called shy!
The sky
evanescent
Lit by the oblivions
Of twinkles and wishes
The entrancing state of space
Truly beautiful
Falling stars
My enrapture to a standstill
A crevor embedded in the earth
A fallen star
Brightly lit
Its my wish
one by one
the days turn into blurs
my head feels like hamburger scrambled
my whole body aches right down to my jelly legs
and tingling toes
and i know that winter has come
feeling numb
at a standstill
like a statue
frozen in time
aah…
you say
a tensed note
almost unheard
but in that one moan
time comes to a standstill
for rapture forgets the past
needs no future to give it hope
it simply is, expands, fills, abducts
takes us to an edgeless place and beyond
Faerie fawn did not realize she was being watched I am sure.
With a wave of her wand, she conjured a mule deer pure.
He leapt in the air and took off with a dash down the hill.
In amazement I felt that leap; my surprised heart was at a standstill.
Indigestion and Congestion
Trump always suffered from indigestion
When traffic contained much congestion
Discovered poor became his driving skill
He drives best if traffic is at a standstill
Church plate never puts into collection.
Jim Horn
We’re at a standstill—
a standoff of semi-automatic emotion, knowing
in our instability, we pull each other’s triggers
and cannot truly be capable of loving one another.
But I’m still begging him not to give up
like I'm begging him not to shoot.
Dallas

July temps record highs

threatens emergency

I cannot know if we shall meet again,
when next we share
sore secrets,
solemn
truths,
a
tidbit
here or there.
Standstill in time,
shared between two strangers who never met.
An exchange of sorrowful memories
too intimate
for loved ones
to hear
yet.
In the serenity
Of the restless times,
Amidst all chaos
Standstill,
An imposed impasse
That defines
The priority of
An emotional world,
The world often makes
Nurtured the wrecked Self,
The self, reluctantly
Suffixing its worthiness,
To sustain
The perennial conflict.
The winters gone;
It's was spring, now it's sprung;
Spring now is gone, it's summer;
At days light temperatures high;
While at night the moon winks its eye...
As the stars standstill in awe;
Summers come;

PERFECT!!!!!!
Standing solemnly in standstill,
Aah how awesome and amazing,
Stirring at the splendor of space,
I fall flat on the face,
Frolicking fervently as I watch the flow of His glory,
I crouch to the creator of the creatures,
And I smiled for everything fit exactly in its environment.

Shroud Of Dusk
sun in shadows late at dusk
through my city's fall on me
from skies and within windows
perhaps as the dark would be*
where some streetlight will survive
this unrelenting day's search
for moving and for standstill
creamiest bouquet
white daisies touched by red sun
in aged day's glow
marvelous mauve walls
tell stories of sun's passing
birds whistle blithely
glass lake reveals moon
that's peeping at the window
raising dark drama
plum shadows, fireflies
pink sun's travels never cease
blue butterflies sleep
The light that shines in my darkness
My own treasure
To love, to hold, to care for
Her eyes bring the sky to life
He hands, a reminiscence of God's touch
And when she smiles,
The earth comes to a standstill
In awe,in adoration, admiration
Of this my little pie pie!
I love you gal.
Mama
Today there won’t be a parade;
Concessions that Covid has made.
With no bagpipes or fifes
It’s befitting, since life’s
At a standstill from which we’ve not swayed.
Still, I’m wearing a bit o’ the green
Though, of course, if I had to come clean,
Being Irish I’m not
But I’ve never forgot
On St. Pat’s to become a colleen.
