Stillness

The Energy of death

Comes into the channel of stillness

As if the whole world has gone quiet

As if someone paused the music &

the whole world stops the dance

As if the snow flakes stop in midair

As if the rain holds a glaze on the road

in the singing of stillness

The Energy of death

Comes into the channel of stillness

As if to slip into the beyond

All comes to hold a patience of surrender

Letting the life energy of leaping

Pull back inside itself,

like an invisible hand withdrawing

from animation of show

A quantum shift of energy pulls

the leap of life back into the unseen

Through a channel of stillness

The Energy of death

Finds the way of leaving without ending

Like water evaporating

to become cloud again

Becoming everywhere in the nowhere

This channel of stillness

In the death of our beloved

We witness yet cannot follow

changes our state of being as well

We become more like the clouds

In an invisible expansion of our love

beyond ourselves

And our leaps of life

Now hold new textures of stillness

Sending our love reach

Beyond horizons,

Beyond where we can run

Through our channel of stillness…
