Still

Winter Clouds in Florida

A state of grace

Being instead of doing

Lie still, sit still, be still

Experience doing nothing

Uncomfortable at first

Then liberating

Stare out the window

Breathe in, breathe out

Feel each muscle loosen

Fix your gaze on one object

Tune in to the lack of noise

Let the quiet soothe all of you

Listen to the silence

Wrap yourself in it

Let it permeate your skin

Guide it toward your mind

So it also becomes still

Be still and just be

Deep inside is the perfect space

Where nothing can touch you

Where no one can hurt you

Breathe deeply and just be

The perfect state of grace

Still…
