in night’s stillness, lost love haunts

morning stillness

I sit at my table
and look out the window

after rain
the sun pokes through clouds
waking dreams

why would we switch on thought
when bliss beats within pulsate
in stillness we are self-taught
teleported to heaven’s gate

Want to put my arms around you,
before slumber takes us.
My soul melting into you,
seeking yours,
in the crystaline stillness.

frothy pink ladies
                               in the Japanese stillness

what moves is mind, in realm dual
call this truth whatever we will
it is stillness in renewal

Cool foggy morning
in the watery stillness
a fishing boat glides
disappears in the thickness 
its holds bare for no fish swim

from the stillness fulcrum we view 
movement of thought and emotion
there is no cause for reaction
we dwell in depths of the ocean

stillness without movement, save a bliss hum

a crane's silhouette reveals 
stillness of beauty 
his eyes focused on water 
his thoughts lost in its ripples

Eternity

I never figured on
the
stillness of here

the
distance from there
to fresh despair

maybe that’s
what He
means
by
    hell

Being

Silence sits
in purity of
      no thought.
Disturbing not the peace,
      the stillness
of truth.

If only you could hear.
