Be Still

The cacophony.

It's shrill tone echoes,
  ricochetting, recoiling,
  erupting, over and again
  into the still, calm cosmos.

Terror, hate, frenzy, indignation.
  All rival for repute, or to simply
  weep in disillusionment and fury.

Emotions and thoughts are energy.
  When combined, energy coalesces
  and gives birth to substance, matter.

‘What,’ Spirit queries, are you creating?
  A cloud swells in the soul of humanity,
  seething and nurtured by the cacophony.

Lost, bitter in the cacophony of our making
  we cry, ‘We are lost, dying! Don’t you care?!
 There is no way out! Please save us!’ we beg.

Smiling, ‘Have you forgotten?  You created this.
  You were created creators. You still are creators.
  Create now something extraordinary and life-giving.

‘What? We can't create?! You propose the impossible!

Be still, Spirit whispers.

‘What?!’ the masses cry.

Be still.
  Quiet your minds,
  calm your emotions,
  for one sacred moment.

A gentle wind moves across the people,
  Humanity breathes in deeply, as one.
  The breath of life quiets the rancor,
  stills broken hearts, racing minds.

Tears of humanity flow, cleansing,
   unfurling, releasing, reminding
  all of our sacred design, love.

Be still.  Remember.  Create
  love, only and always.
