Stillness Poems - Poems about Stillness

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,...

Premium Member This Morning
(On Father's Day) Like most mornings, I awoke, Got out of bed on the left side. Not sure if that was the wrong side, But I know for certain, It wasn’t the right side. Aloneness is sort of that way— No offer of a second opinion, No pat-on-the-back save a broken arm, No meaningful conversation around the table. A moment of nihility—this morning. ...

Premium Member WHISPERS OF STILLNESS
WHISPERS OF STILLNESS Almost sunset. I sit on the riverbank letting the water dribble over my toes and massaging my soles against the pebbles underfoot. I listen to the water trickling along and to the insects droning. Above me is a river of blue, the sky born of bluest petals, as if it were once a...

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...

The Stillness Beneath Me
The Stillness Beneath Me They said I’d know I’m fully alive when laughter bloomed or sorrow cried. But both are gusts that pass me by— and neither one has ever lied. Yet neither tells the whole of me. They come, they go—I watch, I breathe. The truth is not the thrill or ache but what remains when both do leave. Contentment is a quieter...

Stillness at the Crown
The sun, a molten eye directly overhead, no longer a traveler on the horizon's rim, but a sovereign, absolute. Shadows shrink to almost nothing, hiding beneath the very things that cast them, a brief surrender of definition, a world momentarily flattened, stripped of its usual depth and perspective. The air hangs thick and still, as if holding its breath under the weight of that intense...

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 Stillness Holds a Universe Within
The breath becomes the anchor soft and slow, A gentle tide that ebbs and flows unseen. The clamor of the thoughts begins to go, A fading echo of what might have been. No grand pronouncements sought, no battles won, Just quiet witness to the restless mind, As layers peel like petals to the sun, And deeper currents start to intertwine. The world outside...

Premium Member Gray Stillness
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 ...
