Be Still, Be Active

When I’m still, my mind still races.
When I close my eyes, I still see all the faces.
Faces from yesterday and way back when,
Faces from now;
Faces from then.
I can’t seem to focus with

the camaraderie of my thoughts.
These battles are less won and more often loss.

When I keep active, my mind stands still.
When my eyes open, I see you still.
Just you;
You share with me pieces of you.
When I keep active my thoughts leave me

at peace.

When I work with you,
On me,
I’m able to keep your piece.

Thank you.

So long as

I’m active,So long as

I’m busy,
So long as

I’m distracted,
I’m less distracted.
