stillness at the start of the day,
when I can learn what lives within, and
detect my ability to express it
when ideas grow legs and start to
walk, lost imaginings are remembered,
old potentials become new
(often I rush in, frantic to start
the day, or distract myself from what
lies unaccomplished)
allowing stillness, thought, gently
reading the words of others or
looking over my own former scribblings -
their patterns still traceable in my mind
life repositions itself, hope alights
and tells me things are not after all,
as impossible as I thought
stillness, at the start of the day

Bless you!!

A lovely poem. It makes me think of one of my favorite lines from the Psalms: "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). With all the external and internal noise that we must face each day, that time of silence and stillness is an essential that I look forward to.
Great poem. I too tend to rush into things. Thanks fo the reminder. xo
