Stillness

Captured this morning, in both nature and within

There is nothing quite like stillness.

Stillness captures my attention,

softly embracing my being

like a quiet, knowing presence.

***

There is nothing quite like stillness.

It is a sweet tonic,

gently pacifying my racing mind,

slowing each rstless thought

until it fades into calm.

***

There is nothing quite like stillness.

Stillness caresses my heart,

unseen yet deeply felt,

lifting the corners of my soul

into an unspoken smile.

***

There is nothing quite like stillness.

It awakens my awareness,

drawing me inward and outward at once,

where breath, body, and moment

become one quiet truth.

***

Stillness warms my heart

with a subtle, steady glow.

It reunites me with my senses,

the hush of air,

the rhythm within,

the gentle pulse of simply being.

***

There is nothing quite like stillness.

In its silence, I return to myself.
