 Still Stay still, and feel the completeness of it all, feel silk breezes breathe across your body tingling sun’s rays kiss your flesh stay still, feel the completeness of it all, feel sand move silently beneath your bare feet, hear bluebells soft whisper in the wind hold sands within your hand, feeling their crystalline edge stay still, feel the completeness of it all, smell summer’s scent again. Stay still, feel the completeness of it all, close your eyes as into cool lapping water you walk, waters falling and dogwood calling silently, no sound of body’s talk feel small minnows drifting, wiggling past lean limbs lean back and float with eyes upraised stay still, feel the completeness of it all. Gaze now upon azure of unending sky and billowing cumulus clouds on high this moment, so now, so totally complete because you are still, feeling complete in awe. ©KRJ 29 August, 1999 revised 23 May 2002 |

Sunshine, I took a quiet few minutes and this read like a meditation for me.... I could actually feel the tension drain from my body. Much like 'listen to the warm' Gosh how I love how this reads and feels! Into my library it goes! ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Both poem and photo were gorgeous, Karilea... Gaze now upon azure of unending sky and billowing cumulus clouds on high this moment, so now, so totally complete because you are still, feeling complete in awe. We must never take God's creations for granted.....we should appreciate nature's beauty and never say we will do it tomorrow.....because, none of us is ever promised a tomorrow....all we havc is today and we should learn to appreciate what we have and see around us today.  ~ hugs todayLyra |

"complete in awe" i like that, a bit of a twist in the right spot... gives new meaning to an old phrase. |

  (smiles) Awwwwwww, this has such a beautifully spiritual feel, sweet friend, yes, yes, may we always stand before the beauties of life and always smile just watching the sun shimmer and birds sing and clouds drift!

Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
