Stillness

The words float round my head
In circles, they take me nowhere
And sometimes I am simply lost in the rhythm of it all
Like a child in their make believe world
The conversations still unsaid
And I watch to see where it will lead

But in the end gravity pulls me back
And I am centered, far too centered, in the here and now
And I lose myself instead in the moments each day has
Trying to capture one to hold, when I am able

For now the way life blazes like a strong and steady flame
Is so busy and consuming I rarely find the time
To sit in just my silence, quiet, still and at peace
To hear the voice of wisdom and to feel that sweet warm breeze
