Please Stand Still

there is so much
in touching silence
that I wish
I could know
what it felt like
but everything
continues to whirl
around me
it is as if
even when the wind
has stopped
everything still
just goes
passing by

Standing still
Despite the pushing
Standing still
In spite of rushing
The beach constantly move
Waves in motion
Sand in motion
Wearing the tidal groove
Standing ankle high
Waves in motion
Go rushing by me
Pulling into the sea
Yet I stand still

Perhaps it's best to go with the wind, enjoyed.

Swish,
always hear that wind
breezes blowing through my hair
as I stop and bend,
but you see I don’t really care
‘cause the flowers scent the air
and for that, I’ll pause
