a poem

In stillness I try
To stir the drive
Of progress my
Being wills to strive
I cannot stop
I cannot stop

If calmness wanes
Passing flame forth
Ignore what cause pains
For following fake north
I will get better
I will get better

Standing I then sit
To make chaos of peace
Inside to restless fit
Cautious of this I lease
I strive to the path
I strive to the path
