“Stop the World”
You still my world and stop the turn
Of this manic swirl
Mesmerized and taciturn
Rescued from the tilt and whirl
The distractions of a life filled
To excess with nothingness
All at once is stilled
a quiet catalyst to reassess
the curious calm of standing still
You still my world and stop the turn
A gentle discovery of a pearl
Reflectively, I adjourn
From the spinning of the world
