Still by Brandon Wilson

I sit still all morning
Shocks me to this moment
See I couldn’t still for nothing
For years I kept on runnin

And when I stopped
My knee was jumping
My toes were tapping
My fingers drumming
I was gone

Quiet through the sunrise
Birds begin their incantations
I listen for the replies
I always wonder what they’re saying

And then I stop
To slip in slowly
The river flowing
Ice caps melting
I stay

I wonder where I’m going
No one knows the destination
Sometimes we’re just floating
It’s natural I know it

But then I stop

Morning turns to evening
The afternoon an intimation
Of something I’ve been feeling
The in between is where we’re waiting

Then I stop
