Still


Although there was no stillness that night,

no lack of movement
or absence of light,
a moment in time stood still and bright
as my consciousness took flight….

Some memories of another time
then came in a flash
to remind me that I’m
forever in motion as I climb.
And it all can change on a dime!

Emotions surged when I saw his face,
invoking a sense
of a distant place,
transporting my mind through time and space.
I was overcome with grace.

The past appears to be set in stone,
but still, it can change,
and new seeds can be sown
by present choices.  And when they’re known,
they’ll take on a life of their own!

And though it seems that it’s I who choose
to act or be still,
I’m taking the cues
provided for me so I won’t lose
the insight rare that ensues.

I push through fear that threatens to kill
my ability,
at last, to fulfill
my soul’s intention to pay this bill.
It is clear I adore him still!
