Have You Ever Sat Still

Have you ever sat still
And closed your eyes

Have you ever sat still
And your thoughts size

Have you ever sat still
And pondered your past

Have you ever sat still
And questioned its ask

Have you ever sat still
And lived its task

Have you ever sat still
As if its a mask

Have you ever sat still
Until its until

Sometimes when emotions are overpowering, it helps to sit still and search our hearts, James. This is a beautiful poem that really answers the same questions it poses. Great write, Highlander! Love, carolyn

Nope, I don't do that, James. I HATE sitting still!!! But my husband sure liked doing it when we went boating in the old days. I just had to always be reading or sunning or jumping in the water! Luv, Andrea

Thoughtful write, James!! We should sit still more often, and soak in life a bit more! Too much hurry hurry hurry in this world today! Nicely done, Carrie
