A Quiet Understanding
Inspired by the way you move through life so calm and clear..
As though you hear a deeper truth most people never hear.
While others race through restless days unsure of what to prove..
You seem to know that purpose lives within the way we move.
Some people fly toward distant dreams with fire in their chest..
Some walk a winding road through life still searching for their rest.
Some run through storms that test their will and push them to the wall..
Some fight, some struggle, swim, or climb.. and some must learn to crawl.
And watching all these paths unfold reminds the heart to see..
That every soul is finding what it’s meant one day to be.
No road is wrong, no pace too slow, no journey stands the same..
For purpose isn’t measured by success or wealth or fame.
Sometimes it’s simply living with a quiet, open mind..
And leaving little traces of your kindness left behind.
For long after the rushing world has faded into night..
It’s gentle souls who show us all the meaning of the light.
