No Longer Still

I used to wait for the feeling
Like it would tell me when to move
Now I notice how it follows
When I decide to

The air feels different lately
Like it’s learned my pace
I don’t rush into the moment
I let it take its place

I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign

I’m no longer still
I don’t pause the frame
I let the moment shift
I let it change

I’m no longer still
And I don’t need to explain
I move the way I feel now
Not the way I used to stay

I don’t check behind my shoulder
When I cross the line
Nothing there is calling
Nothing trying to rewind

I thought staying meant commitment
I thought leaving meant regret
Turns out motion is a language
I hadn’t learned yet

I don’t ask permission
I don’t hesitate

I’m no longer still
I don’t pause the frame
I let the moment shift
I let it change

I’m no longer still
And I don’t need to explain
I move the way I feel now
Not the way I used to stay

Maybe this is what it feels like
When something settles in
Not an ending or a beginning
Just momentum from within

No urgency, no escape
No reason to pretend
Just a quiet forward motion
That doesn’t have an end

I’m no longer still
I feel open, I feel clear
If you think of me now
I hope it feels sincere

I don’t disappear
I just rearrange
I’m no longer still
And nothing feels the same

I move with it
Whatever comes next
