STILLNESS

Stillness
by Lisa Avery
Stillness is the break before the dawn. Where light peeks around the shadows with a force to wither them away. You beck and call with a whisper only I can hear. But I disbelieve at this hour your light shines. That call - that light - why penetrate my stillness? Just because...
Just because... Soon my stillness is pulled downward. A door opens with a warm smile and a beautiful spirit brushes over me like an ocean breeze. The door closes and my stillness is home.
