Stand Still
a poem by thenorm
Stand Still
Listen,
As the hustle
And bustle
Carry you far away
From your dreams.
Stand still.
For once in your life,
Stand still
And let the wind
Blow right through you.
Let that hole
In your soul
Be emptied of clutter,
Of visions
Not of you.
Seek, deep inside
To that time in your life
When voices, choices
Chose the life you lead
And lead away.
Walk that shadowed trail.
Down this different path,
You can paint your dreams.
Let the shadows behind
Your eyes disappear
And just - for once
Stand still
And let the wind blow
Right through you.
