Still – For David
A breath of stillness passes by,
A whisper that is barely caught
I was still just now,
I heard a voice speaking,
Love and hope for those left behind.
A life passes sadly in the din,
Barely heard,
A small voice in a crowd,
My God cries out to me,
Be still and hear him now.
What does this life say to me?
I pray my soul is not deafened,
To the cry of the poor,
Not drowned out,
by a raucous busy life.
I took a moment to be still,
I heard a voice speaking,
I took a moment to be still,
I heard his voice speaking to me.
