Still or Sparkling
Why, sparkling, of course
From the moment we arrive
We learn to choose the sparkle
Our eyes seek the shiny
We reach for faceted wonder
Conditioned for perpetual motion
Lest we miss out or lose out
After indulging decades of sparkling
Shimmering, effervescent chaos
Today, I choose still

Beautiful analogy!! I especially like, “We reach for faceted wonder”
The words are beautiful, and I like the way the poem is framed by the two complementary lines at beginning and end.
This is so powerful in its simplicity! I just love the way you landed. So good…
I’m with you on still
