still

so much of a time spent collecting sands,
by the beach.
but no matter how you try,
the sands still won't reduce.
it remains the same.

so much a time collecting the ocean waters in a pail.
with all your might you fill in each empty pail and waiting for it to be full.
but still,
as much as the pails may be filled,
the sea doesn't change a bit.

like collecting stars at night,
you reach,
but you won't gain.
no matter how far you spread your wings to fly.

so stand still.
and only feel the warmth of the breeze.
you need not move an each.
enjoy the cool wind that passes by.
breath if you need to,
smile if you want to.
let it only greet you by surprise.
