Be still

Be still

Be still with me
taste the orange
this fruit
just be slow with me.

Taste how the grapes bring us wine
and moony-nights

Dreamy belongs to your eyes
as I am into.

On this night I have never tasted so much fruit or felt so many curving vines, roots or berries

It’s as if your wholeness grows me blooming and then I realize you are light

Somehow each feather from you
is for me
teaching me to fly apple treetops
and cherries

Every orchard,
a caterpillar to a butterfly
inches itself across your wicker basket.

Tonight I am dying
the leaf to the ground
as we watch falling down
laying over me
for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce

    you all are very kind.
    it means a lot to me.
    thank you.

    very nice people here.

    im just me.
    you all are just you all.
    we all make mistakes.
    sometimes we prevail against hindrance.
    other times we don't know what do to.

    I enjoy these lines:

    "Be still with me
    taste the orange
    this fruit
    just be slow with me."

    Beautiful!
