If you could be so kind,
Be gentle.

If it’s in your will,
Let me be still.
Hold on and wait.

I’ve not much to ask, but
Peace,
Be with me.
Come to me.
Stand here and,
Stay.
Let me lay,
With you.

Give me home again,
in this silence.
Be accepted in hush.

For the loud drums of all things.
Has broken me.

Let me find joy
Your quiet again.
Let me rest against this lull.

I’ll go on, if asked.
I’ll keep forward,
When I must.

But,

One more day,
Give me stillness,
Just this once.

Just a little more,
Just a little longer…
