April | Poetry Month | 25/30

Prompt:

I love this poem Kindness by Naomi Shihab Nye. It makes me think of all the small acts of kindness we see every day. Let’s try a poem about those moment. Sometimes I have to remind myself to watch the world and the people in it. Be witness to those moments, those small acts that shape the day.

Poem 25/30 excerpt

Every moment steadying my heart rate

Acknowledge this. Own it. You cannot

do it all, and you shouldn’t try.

It’s ok to sometimes sit

so absolutely still

time evaporates

and you are lost

to yourself

quiet

now.
