Without movement and so not rhythmic <br />no change only a potential for becoming. <br />What colour does it posses? <br />Not known but it surely does not fade. <br />What sound does it make <br />other than constancy? <br />Throwing into stark relief <br />all of a different nature <br />Which do you say is the more real <br />the comings and goings <br />or stillness with serenity as its countenance? <br />And will you hone the mind so finely <br />that it may separate the two <br />and choose its dwelling place?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stillness-11/
