Pansies (Lawrence)/Be Still!

​

BE STILL!
The only thing to be done, nownow that the waves of our undoing have begun to strike on usis to contain ourselves.To keep still, and let the wreckage of ourselves go,let everything go, as the wave smashes us, ​yet keep still, and holdthe tiny grain of something that no wave can wash away,not even the most massive wave of destiny.
Among all the smashed debris of myselfkeep quiet, and wait.For the word is Resurrection.And even the sea of seas will have to give up its dead.
