"If nothing ever changed, there would be no such things as butterflies,"


I sit,

In one of the quiet moments of life.

Untroubled.

Filled with a soothing kind of peace

I am still,

But not inactive.

Calm,

Not bored.

These precious moments,

Underrated,

But valuable,

Are slipping away from me.

I feel like people rarely take the time to sit truly still.

aah yes!! i think the able to be idle should be treasured, being constantly stimulated is way too normalized and people aren't appreciating silence like they should. beautifully worded :)
