Settling on Stillness

Like any animal, I note what moves.
No matter if it’s predator or prey,
attention’s caught by motion and behooves
at least alertness. Mostly I obey,
but evolution sometimes disimproves,
and veers from wisdom’s route so far away,
I am resisting instinct’s pattern, till
I reap the good of seeing what is still.
