Yes, sometimes, the most profound progress happens in stillness.

There comes a moment in every life when we stop chasing the clock and start listening to its silence.
In that pause, we discover that time was never our enemy — it was our mirror, our teacher, our quiet companion.
This poem is a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe, and let time walk beside you.

🌿 We Need Time 🌿

Do you need time —
or do you need to slow down
and meet it halfway?

Time isn’t running away —
we are.

It doesn’t rush.
it lingers softly
while we race past
the quiet corners of our own lives.

We need time —
to grow without pressure,
to heal without guilt,
to create without fear,
to love without conditions.

We need time —
to sit in silence
and hear our hearts whisper,
to watch the sun melt into dusk,
to call a friend
and simply listen.

Time isn’t a thief;
it’s a tender teacher.
It asks for patience,
and in return,
offers wisdom,
forgiveness,
and grace.

So, take your time.
Hold it gently —
like the hand of someone you love.

Don’t count the hours —
feel the moments.

Because life isn’t measured
by how fast we go,
but by how deeply
we live,
how kindly
we pause,
how wholly
we are.

✨ Make time your friend, not your race.
