Be Still

Be still

Of the raging heart

And flitting mind. 

Nothing else

Need come between 

Me and the quiet dark. 

Take ease and comfort 

Rest my mind

Listen to my soul 

My heart beats there. 

I am safe 

I am strong 

A quiet mind is always 

A good thing. 

Be still 

And let the heavy

Blanket of sleep 

Overcome me. 

Daybreak will be here

Soon enough 

For my busy mind 

To rise again. 

Have no doubt 

I am still alive

Happily,

I remain so. 

Be still now 

No need to fan the flames 

Be still, my love 

Be still.
