You love me still
You love me into stillness
Into rest I must go
For in rest, I stop
Shabbat
To stop
Pause
Reflect
Destress
Yet, why does pause cause restlessness?
A disquiet noise
Edging me to do
Make, become, find
A purpose to pursue
Check my phone
For anything new
When doing becomes my undoing
I find you there
In the quiet
As I let go
I remember
You are God, and
You love for me
To rest
Be still and know I am God
These words silence
The drive
The tasks
The tempest
The guilt
They wilt
The blooms of busy
They empty
The Great Hall of Should, Must, and Will
In their wake
I see
Just Be
Remains
Just Be, Trust, and Know Me
I am free
I dream
I create
I imagine
I wander
Pitter and patter
Scribble and dabble
Flit and float
I am flying
Smiling
Time goes on
I have chosen
To be
To rest
Here
With you
Listening
As you sing
Over me
I love you
Be still
And know
Me
Here I am
Still.
Till the next chapter,
