STILLNESS* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In stillness they stand, deep roots sip from ancient streams, time's hands slip away. Branches weave through endless skies, the heart learns to stretch and breathe. *Note:Poem originally written for and submitted to creativeramblings.com (Haiku Shack) for its anthology contest. This is my original poem. ...

silence cloaks silence as we dive in deep into the void that holds all existence and we do so by shedding resistance that seeks outcomes causing presence to sleep so we remain still and let God’s grace seep into our core that thus blurring distance our heart’s persistence without insistence paves the way for our soul’s consciousness leap moment to moment, all...

The Anvil of Stillness
They shout for a piece of my mind— I offer the quiet, forged and cool, Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool: A breath that holds when the structure sways, A root that grips when the landslide calls. Peace isn’t the absence of the blaze, But the choosing of water when fury sprawls. It’s not...

Premium Member Scrawls Of Heartbroken Stillness
I turn the leaves of my old diaries. Wherein my passions and anxieties Together with your dried rose petals, sleep. They savor your scent and bitterly weep. Our glances, touches, cuddles, and kisses Fun-filled, playfully hopping-mad hisses Our desires, dreams, hopes, and aspirations Did all these, like sheds, have no foundations? Creeds and credos weren't causes for our split. What's the root of our...

alone in the quietude of nature that fills me with serenity though crows in trees are a disturbance their grating noise an irritation I follow a path to where skylarks sing their melodic song soothing but my heart is full of chaos and anxiety I have always found my soul in nature but how can I when my body is broken ? I love the...

Fulcrum of a Rose
They say the scent begins in bloom, But I have felt it in the fold– where petals hide, and shadows loom, not where the colour are bold. It lives between the bloom and  bruise, a hush the sunlight doesn't see. It stays with those who never choose, to shine, but still learn how to be.  I found it's centre,...

Stillness in Motion
I am here, on this bench, as if the world’s still spinning but I forgot how to move with it. The air is thick, like it’s waiting for me to do something to lift the weight off my shoulders. But I just… sit. Leaves fall, but I don’t notice when they hit the ground, just that they were once up there, free, and I wonder if they ever felt light. A...

Rain and Seasons
I wait for the rain, So it may express what I never could. —And when it falls, I want it to pour relentlessly, To match the depth of my devastation. Though it can't last forever— Somehow I want my devastation to fade away; Like rain sometimes does. I want my heartache to change like seasons do, I need to know what—spring, summer, autumn,...

The still clouds across the pasture hugging the mountains, did not stir A blanket of gray, everywhere brought peace to a soul that is bare Gray stillness stopped time in a beat There is nothing left to defeat Only wisdom to know it's time It will all begin with this rhyme Heidi Sands 3/25/25 *8 Syllables (C)opyright ...
