Still Here

Still Here

You may snuff the heavens, silence the hum of the stars,

But I am still here, and

You may turn the rivers to stone, cities to flood,

And I will still be here, still

Standing here, still,

Watching you inventing havoc and gathering madness,

Watching you try to break me, to wake me

From this dream of creation,

Knowing you cannot sway me, and you cannot

Steal me from my home,

My cities and rivers and stars and heavens.

I am still here, always here, and ever still.

8.1.11
