Stand Still

Stand Still

 

The depths linger in this darkness

which surrounds me all too closely,

blank stares prick my skin regardless

making the nights seem all too lonely.

 

Personified the time stands still,

remarkable crystal running water

reaching down the rocks with ease

with your presence time has altered,

grasping moments you couldn't seize.

Until the day comes crawling over hill,

mountainous winds makes this time stand still.

 

And though I long to breathe

in this crisp air that tastes so heavy,

long with the ocean's salty breeze,

for these crystalline rocks miss me.

 

Strong to the ground and stand

still to the moist moss emerald,

reaching forth take thine hand

breaching limestone's threshold.

 

Standing still against these minerals,

toes wiggle and sparkle like quartz,

time passing clouds toll intervals,

remaining I stand still in all sorts miss me.
