Be Still

Be Still

I was made in stillness 

Submerged in my tranquil sea

Songs I heard were only my beating heart

This form fashioned after an image, pecieved in likeness 

I'm at my best when in stillness

Not alone, I feel a presence caringly watching over me

It envelopes me, it's my very essence 

I live, move, have my being; the air I breath expresses this 

Maddening voices clamor for my attention

Not distracted, I'll  listen for a certain sound 

It speaks so softly, yet can be heard above the awful din

It's in this, that I'm asked to know the source of my existence

Deliverance comes in salvation, peace is known amidst storms 

A world awaits to corrupt this stillness, so vital to my peace

Cities of circumstances are taken when spirits are ruled in stillness

Be there, when in dust or as ashes I'm blown in the winds to rest on waters as in stillness I sleep
