Sitting Still


Are we ever really sitting still

Quiet breathing makes for light motion

As thoughts race around our heads

Are we still sitting still

Even though we wish for a reason to move

Even as our bones ache and our heart races 

Are we really sitting still

When our head is somewhere else

And our heart longs to be

Sitting still
