Stillness

 " It was a breezy day
         ..if only i realized it was so..

with disturbed and confused mind..
    ..sat i watching through the window

flaming dust coming for the roads
  ..still disturbing noise from cars passing by..

..quarrel on the road...rage of words flowing across..
   ..is this the beautiful life i wished for ? ..

for a moment,I took a deep breath..
  ..slowed down the breath..

..stillness..
  ..stillness..

started to see things that i never saw before..
  ...closer to the road was the tree dancing with the breeze..

..touch of the rain..wetness in the air..
   ..as the cool wind touches my skin..

I saw a small line of ants carrying food as though nothing was happening around..
 ..i said to myself..shouldnt i do the same :)

just a little closer..a butterfly flattering her wings..
  ..sat on the grill of window..

as though she asked me..series of questions popped up..
..was everything around a reflection of inside..
..no good...no bad..only perception and perceiver..

I stood still...she stood still..

....Stillness......."
