Monday Poem: This Stillness holds Everything

clip_image002

This Stillness holds Everything

It is a form of silence
this stillness holds everything

On the very edge of sound
waiting for the tremulous heartbeat

of the next few precious moments
to flicker into hesitant life

As we wait for our lives
to slip out of this stasis

And prepare themselves for the day
they will meet beyond the door

Of this semi-darkened room
where the dawn creeps across the floor

And touches the bed where we hide
from the rest of our waiting lives.
