Sober Tempest
There are days
Where nothing special happens
Just a day you'll forget about
In a few years it won't even be a footnote
Yet you find yourself awake
Not from stress or worry
Just from the stillness of life
It's a rare moment as you grow up
One is always buzzing
Always something to take your attention
But not today, not tonight
You just blend into everything
You feel a oneness with everything
Life isn't going well for you
However you still feel content
You are happy with your life
The past nor the future matters
Just right now
It's the calm before the storm really
You are a day before
That championship win
How would you feel?

Dear S,
I enjoyed the contemplative spirit in this poem. Just the focus on the here and now. I would love to aspire to that level of constant ability. Your opening stanza is phenomenal. Really made me take a breath and realize how true that is and that I hadn’t thought of that, ever. Today I’m going to focus on what is right there in front of me. Terrific write. H🌷

It's not an every day moment, especially with so much that's buzzing in todays society. Sometimes one just gets a free moment, without worries just peace and that's a great feeling.

Your title captured my attention and I wondered if this would be worth a read, and I was correct. You struck a cord within myself, that feeling is true and through. Keep calm and write on.

Hi Seelie
Thank you so much for reading this. This poem was written from one of those points were you really just have to write down what's in your mind at that moment not even sure if it'll make sense. I'm glad it resonated with you
