! Be Still Poem by Bob Blackwell

! Be Still

Rating: 3.7


An empty mind
holds no tears,
no sadness
for the past.

Soften,
the cold hard
places of
your heart.

Listen for that
knowledge,
the love,
that lies within.

And stay close,
to the sounds,
that will make
you feel alive.

Stillness of mind holds no pains, no joys It is a state of divine bliss nearness to Godliness. A great piece Bob.

And stay close, to the sounds, that will make you feel alive. Sounds of silence coming from inside of the heart. Beautiful and wisdomful words from a mystic mind. Wonderful, Bob. Regards Naseer

It is in stillness that creativity has its genesis. Your last stanza is especially profound. I am so glad I did not miss this one. Warmest regards, Sandra
