You spend your springtime light unraveling frowns on others brows
A single flicker in their gaze stirs waves across your calm
Their warmth or cold fleeting as dew you mistake for fates decree
Yet in the mirror of self-doubt you lose the echo of who you are meant to be
The worlds whispers drift like layered clouds slowing your stride
One careless word enough to blur the truths you held last night
But wisdom true and lasting is not found in watching others skies
It lives in still waters within where your own reflection lies
When you gaze inward like the moon resting on a silent pond
Others tempests no longer hold sway over your calm
Let their moods pass like wind their words fall like rain
Your peace becomes a sanctuary unmoved by fleeting pain
A heart aligned sees noise as silence shadow as light
And learns that stability lies not in being praised or right
But in walking alone with grace aglow in quiet flame
The world unchanged yet you serene are never quite the same
