Stationary Motion, Moving Inactivity

It's possible. You can be moving So fast and Standing so still Or completely still And not moving at all. When the world Frantically revolves Hurrying to I-don't-know-where And leaves me behind Suspended in the air I grab onto its axis And reluctantly Spin along with it At its frightening pace Frantically. And all of me is moving Except nothing of me is changing Anything but position So I'm not going anywhere. However, when I finally find a minute When I can forget The spinning world And stop To remember Where I came from, Decide Where I'm going Wonder Where I will be... It's then When I am completely still But my soul is swelling My heart racing And everything is changing Inside of me So therefore, I am Completely still But moving Where you can't see.
