Life Stands Still

As the lives
Of those around me

Spin with

Activity

Fill with

Opportunities

Launch into

Adventures

It feels like

My life
Stands still

Stationary

Same house

Same job
Same days

No new adventures

In site

No money

To fund
New adventures
If they came

Not sure I mind

The stillness

Given my need

For calm

Yet

Some lives spinning
Some lives still

And me here

Watching it all
