Stillness

Sounds of stillness
Fill my heart's presence...
Scary at first...but ensuring at the same time.
Enjoying and taking in all that surrounds--
blocking out negativity
and
harsh thoughts
Looking into my children's eyes--
Wishing them, not perfection
but perseverance!
Not desiring that all be well...
but for their souls to be well with you!
Looking in the mirror--
Looking past the world's definitions
and seeing
the being that
YOU
created...
Perfectly in your mind...
  Open possibilities if I choose!
Thankful for the moments...
the times
of stillness—
