Be Still


The ice on the surface is thin,
Don't move about. Be very still.
The quicksand swallowing in
Don't fret, think, Be very still.

The world may grow louder
Listen to peace, be very still.
Storms making skies darker?
Wait for the sun, be very still.

The old bridge creaks underneath
Wait for help, Be very still.
Your mind is the hunter, don't be its prey
Stand your ground. Be very still.

You who refuges in panic
And reverts to the comforting fears
Break your chains, have faith
Don't give away, be very still.

Be that tree under lightning
Be that forgotten field
Be alive, be chaos,
But always be very still.
