Be Still
By John Herlihy

My body is on fire,
Full of desire.
Nothing cools it until
My body be still.

My mind always jumbles,
It continuously mumbles.
Nothing slows it until
My mind be still.

My heart is filling full,
The heart strings pull and pull.
Nothing will soothe it until
My heart be still.

My psyche has dreams,
Life is not what it seems.
Nothing becomes real until
My psyche be still.

My soul’s ground is fertile,
Its garden a solitary isle.
Nothing will grow there until
My soul be still.

My spirit will soar,
My effort is life’s oar.
I will never truly fly until
My spirit be still.

My world floats on,
A bubble on a pond.
May God’s peace us fill,
So that my world be still.

When we still our minds and our hearts the soul closes it's lid and takes us to a personal sanctuary of grace and reprieve. I always love your peaceful poems, they fill me with calm and contentment. long after the read, Have a nice evening John, and thanks for sharing your light heart xo

Hard to be still when there's life to be lived. Still is still moving to me.

It is hard to still our minds. We reach for peace within, but is it attainable? I don't know. I haven't found it yet.

Your poem supports the OM practice very well, save while doing it, we have to empty our minds. Good to read this after a session. Thanks for posting.
