Stillness

In the moment we face
the coming of consciousness
emerging from the dream
we sit quietly to listen
as the day awakens beyond walls,
content in our place
as we picture spaces of calm
filling our soul with a special peace,
we emerge to begin
in simple movement.
Each day a gift found
beneath a mind that whirled
like spinning tops in sleep,
we look to relax the frenzy,
to linger away in another time
where ripples move outward
pushing away the negative
and embracing the good things-
we touch the surface with thoughts
sending them to those in need,
and wrap our arms around
the self that rises
in the darkness of a dawn
that awaits the light
to see the brilliance
of a new day.
