The Art of Noticing.🧚🏻
<p>The heart once sought noise.</p><p>The soul was loud—</p><p>needing the littlest attention,</p><p>yet never settling.</p><p>Always seeking.</p><p>It couldn’t sit with itself,</p><p>not even for a second.</p><p>There was never a moment of silence.</p><p>It craved the crowd’s gaze.</p><p>But life humbled the soul.</p><p>Slowly, it began to quiet.</p><p>It no longer chased the crowd.</p><p>It longed for silence—</p><p>and its owner practiced it.</p><p>They started seeing life as fleeting.</p><p>Nothing was theirs to keep.</p><p>Nothing would follow to the grave</p><p>except good deeds</p><p>left behind with their Lord.</p><p>So they sought solace—</p><p>and in solace, found solitude.</p><p>And in solitude, peace.</p><p>The soul grew quieter.</p><p>It practiced kindness and gratitude.</p><p>It flinched at the faintest immorality.</p><p>It stayed silent in rooms full of gossip.</p><p>And it started noticing—</p><p>like it could read people</p><p>by their character and emotions.</p><p>It knew who was sad,</p><p>and who masked joy.</p><p>It took things lightly.</p><p>It let things go.</p><p>It just… noticed.</p><p>Never spoke of its own emotions,</p><p>but understood others deeply.</p><p>And like that—</p><p>the soul took life as a poem.</p><p>A little lamp,</p><p>shining quietly in the darkest room.</p><p>It found itself</p><p>in solitude.🧘🏾‍♀️</p>
