MOMENTS - HOME
are my emotions asleep?
or do still waters run deep?
what is in the deeps?
is it silent for keeps?
are my feelings asleep?
or in a deep freeze?
frozen but alive?
I can’t see inside
are my emotions asleep?
no motion
are my feelings asleep?
asleep or frozen deep?
for now or for keeps?
and how could they thaw?
would they feel too raw?
I try to see
I try to feel
but all is still
except sometimes I weep
why is all so silent, so numb?
like a street silent, fresh snow
but that’s the silence of peace
the silence of grace
a silence so vast
so safe
I taste the snow on my tongue
that’s not emotions asleep
that’s so wide awake
awake to a world at peace and vast
peaceful joy, elation,
oneness so deep
no words reach – I can only feel
feel oneness so vast, peace, elation
in a world of fresh fallen snow
love and peace
but now, are my emotions asleep?
this is not a feeling of peace
something should be here
but no motion
do still waters run deep?
did something freeze?
freeze and go numb?
can this be undone?
like seeds in the sun
but these are not seeds
meant to wait
these are feelings asleep
meant to live
and to flow
I wait
