Stand Still

Stand still and breathe
There is time
Ignore the voices in and out
The whiners and the beraters
The heartless and the deaf
Know that there is one who listens
When you sleep
When you cry
When you hurt

It speaks back
But the noise gets in the way
Be silent
Breathe
Let the love engulf you
For only when we are still
Only when we stop the clatter
Does its voice boom outwards

You are loved
You are special
You are doing the right thing
Right now, right here

Let others remain in a vortex of pain
Go with the flow
Relax as the river takes you
We are never so lost
That we cannot be found by the Eternal

Let go your heavy heart
Let true love arrive
And make a home in you
