Stillness Poems - Poems about Stillness

I wait for the rain, So it may express what I never could. —And when it falls, I want it to pour relentlessly, To match the depth of my devastation. Though it can't last forever— Somehow I want my devastation to fade away; Like rain sometimes does. I want my heartache to change like seasons do, I need to know what—spring, summer, autumn,...

The breath becomes the anchor soft and slow, A gentle tide that ebbs and flows unseen. The clamor of the thoughts begins to go, A fading echo of what might have been. No grand pronouncements sought, no battles won, Just quiet witness to the restless mind, As layers peel like petals to the sun, And deeper currents start to intertwine. The world outside...

I am learning in a way Sunday teaches In stillness In the pause before the next step In slowness Letting the world hum around me without needing an answer In knowing that growth does not only ask for effort, But presence.

Whispers of Time Beneath the moon, the night unfolds, A story whispered, soft and bold. In every shadow, in every light, I see your face, so pure, so bright. A touch, a glance, a knowing smile, It feels as if we’ve walked this mile. Through lifetimes past, we’ve crossed the skies, ...

Stillness in the Storm It isn't too far from a conceivable image, To perceive the vast and forgotten knowledge; What was and still is a, yet-lost tho recoverable innate and usable norm, We have merely been tricked to stumble and to falter, To see only this, yet to live and just perish..there, According to our physical form, That they abuse...

The world does not beg to be held today Doesn't demand my voice or my chase It simply asks that I sit in the space between Where breath is enough Where time just is There's no urgency here No need to carve my name into the hours Only the soft surrender of being So I loosen the grip on the reins of time Letting...

I still myself in the hallowed dream of light and love. In the significant withdrawal of time, holding my breath I breathe in the silence, stillness and sound. I silently dwell in the rapturous becoming Of the unhindered, unbridled emotions--- Holding myself in the chilling sphere of fear. In the gnawing acoustics of survival---- Allowing every ounce of stillness...

Your voice hits like aftershocks— the way you'd pause before each goodbye (I was too scared to end it then) Those midnight stories and stupid jokes, painting darkness with our laughter... Your words sparked something I couldn't name but felt in my bones I'd call for nothing, just needing to break through these paper-thin walls & empty spaces ...

A rooted backyard rock, blooms in the morning sunlight. All night it has been time travelling through the history of the earth, now it is flowering, for the light has reshaped it into stillness once more. For an unfurling moment we both cast no shadow upon this spiraling eon, as we orbit a sun together....
