STILLNESS

I sat on the rock with my feet dipped in the cold flowing river,

the waves washing away all what made me quiver

the dreams, the what if’s, the constant talks, those decisions,

all came to a halt

the waves softened my skin, found a way inside the pores,

she scrubbed the sadness and took it with her flow

A purge of emotions dripped down my cheeks

as the stillness steeped in me.

I feel free. The river took it
