Stillness Before the Leap

 

“Stillness Before the Leap”

In a quiet village bathed in overcast light, she stands at the pool’s edge—a figure composed, reflective, and quietly resolute. Her beige dress echoes the soft diffused light, while the folder pressed to her heart suggests both burden and purpose. She is not just pausing—she is preserving a moment. Behind her, neat houses form a mosaic of memories: the backdrop of growth, of rituals repeated, of arrivals and departures. The water reflects the sky like a page waiting for ink—a mirror of her thoughts yet to be spoken.

She isn't waiting. She is anchoring herself to the present before she sets something free.

"She didn’t need waves to feel the depth—only a quiet pause before life moved again."

✨ Poem: 

“The Pause That Carries”

By water’s hush and overcast breath,

She stands where quiet meets depth.

A folder cradled like whispered plans,

A life between her heart and hands.

The ripples still, the clouds drawn near,

Her calm is louder than any cheer.

No need to move, no rush to run—

She is the stillness before the sun.

Each house behind—a story known,

Yet she, in silence, stands alone.

In that pause, a truth appears:

Sometimes strength is facing fears.

Not with noise or grand display—

But simply being for a day.
