Charles Ghigna - Be Still

[Greg Pincus]

Be still in the world wherever you are

listen to life’s lullaby

the heartbeat, the breathing

the giving, receiving

the sun and the moon and the star.

They all shine true through the essence of you

a beacon of boundless light

the father, the mother

the sister, the brother

all are within you tonight.

Let the flow of the seas, the lilt of the breeze

the rush and the calm of all time

carry your dreams 

along rivers and streams

and let you be still where you are.

Charles Ghigna (also known as Father Goose) returns to the 30 Poets/30 Days pages (Page? Screen?) with a poem from his book Illusions (with a cover illustrated by his son, Chip Ghigna). And as always I end up saying... geez, this guy can write. 

 

There's also range galore - not just Illusions but his Dear Poet: Notes to a Young Writer came out last year... and I bet if you take a spin through his books, you'll be sure to find something that sparks your interest. Honest! So, take a look... and then... I wish you moments of stillness today and all month long.
