ONGOING STILLNESS
From the stillness you come
Ongoing, you live your life;
Ongoing you strum.
It's as if you never moved;
It is as if you always were;
Doing it all while always here.
Rain pours, the earth shakes
but the void is ever calm, ongoing
stillness keeps you from harm.
Rivers rage, torrents abide
movement is all around, yet
ever ongoing stillness abound.
There never was a time you
did not exist, for being is ever
antecedent to doing.
Without stillness there
would be no gestation,
without stillness, no creation.
Let activity go forth, let
being abide; while ongoing
stillness takes you for a ride
