be still.

spirit in
the soul of all
open eyes
as day begins

survey this house
in which
you dwell
see its need

refresh
restore
with hope
and purpose

to brighter moments
sunny days
goodbye dense mist
and violet haze

as on the
grassy bank
to lie
or crispy sand

quiet valley
silent hill
look for peace
pursue it still

let the world
go gently by
if only for
a little while

that quiet place
of solace find
to calm the soul
and ease the mind

in a world of
haste and speed
to draw aside
is such a need
