still

stillness for just long enough

to convince me all is well

the storm is over

the winds died down

but even when there’s quiet

there’s a disturbance in the air

as i attempt to cling to peace

and shut out the despair

in these moments i’m reminded

feelings can be tamed no more than the wind

and to be thankful for a heart that feels deeply

and skin that isn’t too thick

to let some discomfort and wind in
