Comes the word “still”
another word in the “S” series
how often misunderstood?
how often taken lightly?
still waters run deep
goes the maxim in course
“still” is impregnant with a lot
being one of quiet
very frequently cared in length
as the ocean poses to be still
so do the rivers and weather
a premonition to a turbulence
a serenity that betrays
a quietude that penetrates
excites a fear and an apprehension
still may refer to lighter incidents too
being that of a postponement
one that of a delay in the anvil
still it has not happened
an expression indicating a procrastination
still a long way to go
informs an expectation in the go
so much so about “still”
a five letter word holds a deep insight
requires a scrutiny and an in-depth study
perhaps a research is a need
each word though small or big
retains a fund of connotations
powerful and meaningful
an examination be the cause.
