Calm like the stillness of the lake
Calm like the quiet of the night
Calm like green grass of the meadow
Calm like the early morning breeze
Calm like the serenity prayer
Calm like a baby sleeping
Calm like the murmur of water
Calm like a soul at peace

I’m a roaring waterfall
You are a serene lake
I’m fire and fury
You are cool stream flowing
I talk before I think
You think so long, before you talk
That I become impatient
I am the talkative one
You are the best listener
I’m spontaneous
You like routine
You’re a night owl
And I’m an early bird
You’re super organized
I try my best
You make me laugh
I love laughter
You’re the reason I came out
Of my shell
You are tactful
I speak my mind
You are diplomatic
I am not!
You are the rock
And I lay against you
You are sunshine
And I bathe in you

Stillness
Like the serene surface of a lake at Dawn
Stillness
Where words come from
Stillness
Where I seek refuge each time
Stillness
Where movement originates
Stillness
Where excitement comes to rest
Stillness
Where great ideas emerge
In my busy days
I seek the stillness of solitude
Daily life with all its demands and
Needs come to a stop
I go deep within myself
I connect to whats out there.
Stillness feeds the soul
Stillness attracts thoughts
Stillness is essential
