Still

 

 

Still is the night

The glow of the moon shines over the body of water

Ripples spread over the surface in a never-ending flow

Life continues in a constant stream

It does not matter that we dream

It does not matter that we wish

Life goes onward

 

Still is the night

The stars shine silently in their sockets

Blinking across the velvety blackness of the sky

Life continues in a relentless stream

It does not matter what we think

It does not matter what we feel

Life goes forward

 

Still is the night

Clouds drift silently over the body of the moon

Casting its ever changing shadows over the landscape

Life continues in a never-ending stream

It does not matter what we seek

It does not matter what we seem

Life goes advancing

 

Still is the night

The breeze disturbs the shrubs and the trees

Tickling my ears with the whispers of the leaves

Life continues in an irresistible stream

It does not matter what we care

It does not matter what we do

Life goes progressing
