Stop for the silence

Stop for the silence, the quiet, the calm
The unfettered whispers, the dancing, the song

Stop for this moment before it is over
Moving through time, like a wandering rover

The seconds that pass and the time that we kill
Can be much more enjoyed if we only sit still

Pushing and yearning to reach all our goals
Only waiting to discover we were already whole

Stop what you’re doing and turn a keen ear
To listen and marvel at what has always been here

There is no destination, no mission, no task
Only the memory of time that has passed

Settle into your seat and hang on for the ride
For today it begins—a new life at your side
