Stuck
It’s a mistake to belly-ache
To rue wrongs done
To linger and shake
To blame someone
You didn’t use the power
That we all own
That strength of tower
Move on don’t moan
Easier to sit on the nail
Wriggle and squirm
Accuse when we fail
While failing to learn
Knowing there’s no change
While standing still
Not expanding our range
Climbing that hill
Take a walk and look back
Your freedom is nigh
Change the track
Wave pain goodbye.

Riding a stationary bike gets you nowhere
You wind up exactly where you started, mon frere
One advantage though
You get muscles on your toes
As well as that, your gluteus maximus shares

In her eyes no time,
Stationary travelers
Are waiting in line.

bidding her farewell,
mist of unsaid confessions

A stationary front has no movement, slothed humans has no inspired movement.
Middle age humans ignore the duty, everyday has a newlywed duty.

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.
