Stillness That Moves
That feeling
when stillness moves,
vertiginous upheaval
transfer of heat,
second law of the
thermodynamics of love
rising,
growing,
but should it cool
then let the grasses
caress you to a
stillness that moves.

When does the heat transfer stop?
It must necessarily stop.
My English is comparatively bad, but I like to read your poems. 😉

Thank you so much Gerhard. Your English is quite good. Thermodynamics tells us that the sun will eventually run out, but not for billions of years yet, love can run low, but we can refuel 🙂

Enjoyed reading your poetry. I love a good poem that’s longer than three lines and 17 syllables.
Your poetry flows like a river. That’s what its supposed to do. Kept my intrest to read all the words and turn the page.
Well done.

I’m so glad it has that affect Nalini. Yes, the fact that we are so inwardly moved by stillness is a wonder and a joy.

First read, I felt the contrast of stillness and movement and how they could co-exist, such as being still while our minds race or sending positive energy out to the world as we sit quietly. Second interpretation was the way stillness can move one’s soul, the tranquility that can be felt so immensely that it awakens you. Either way, this poem is beautiful.
