still... still... still...

still...
         still...
                  still...

         the voices of children linger


still...
         still...
                  still...


         dangling like echoes
         from time's little finger


still...
         still...
                  still...

         the voices of children, still


    laughing
                       playing
             searching
                                saying

creating
                     growing
         learning
                               knowing
                yearning


& loving
        still...
                still...
                        till...
                               more deeply

still, the birds,

still, the spirit,

soft, our breathing,

soft, your touch


still the loving

(& always will)

soft so soft


still... still...
