Inspired by Kit Hindin.
Why is my answer always “busy”,
to the question, “how are you?”
I’ve forgotten to stay still.
Breathe deep and remain true.
My calling and my purpose,
are drowned out by other cries.
They demand attention yet lead,
to a surface life, in disguise.
So steal silent moments. Slow down.
Reflect, for time will tell.
How pure the water is,
that is drawn from the deepest well.
