Surrender To Stillness

Be still my heart,

  surrender to stillness.

Let go of fear—

  draw on calm and respite,

Veiled ‘neath unease

  and feelings of duress,

In silver linings of life—

  embrace it.

It’s been a quiet, uneasy peace with forebodings of chaos amplified by dire prognostications of raw winter weather and scurrying of humanity to prepare for the worst, while praying for the best in the days ahead. It seems Central North Carolina will host a shindig of warm, moist upper atmosphere southerlies from the Gulf of America and frigid, arctic northeasterlies at ground level—the most likely unwelcome fallout, a heavy glazing of ice, a perfect silver storm.
