Deep in the depths of a lotus <br />Lies a stillness <br />Caught and held there like the gap Between <br />Two words <br />It lies undetected <br />As ears pass from one sound <br />To the next <br />And eyes form colour to colour, <br />Shape to shape. <br />It nestles among the petals <br />Like a newborn chick in it’s nest. <br />Invisible <br />Inaudible <br />And yet… <br />It is there. <br />I have no proof of it <br />And yet I know <br />Deep in the depths of a lotus <br />Stillness lies.<br /><br />Elinor Auerbach<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stillness-9/
