Still Here

[mlea]

Still Here

Stay still, beautiful soul
Dangerous worlds don't need you.

You know,

The art of staying still
Starts with insensate skin. 

So ignore the Earth boring down
Until the Sharp Pain and the Ache for Freedom
No longer move you.

We know,

The skill of serenity
Blesses the bluntest in feeling
And you, too, can be immovably numb.

Unless - 

Say you, energy-whole
Sway gravity's pull to the water.
Uncrushable against the Earth.

Buoyant.

Still - 
Floating.
