That Sort of Stillness

Liliana Costas | Pinterest

I want that sort of stillness
Which persuades without words
Is a warm hug
Settling on the crook of your neck
Flowing through the grooves of your heart
In such a gossamer way
So light and so airy
Bubbles dissolving
Sentences floating in silence
Without any punctuation
Grass growing in quiet meadows
Without so much as a hmm
Or an uh
Dewy blades
Between your muddy toes
So, so inaudible and oh, so velvety
A cat’s tranquil body fast asleep
Reminding you of clouds passing by.
