STOP

What if we all just stopped 

Fell silent

For once, what if we looked up and around us

What if, just for a moment, every single person stopped. 

Stopped texting

Stopped scrolling

Stopped running

Stopped yelling

Stopped gossiping

Just stopped

Imagine the people you'd see

Right there in front of you 

Standing, stopped, just like you

Imagine who'd you meet

Imagine what you'd hear

Imagine what you'd learn

What if we stopped all the radios and the engines and the machines

What if we turned off all the lights

Opened all the doors

And took a step outside

What if 

What if you were to close this screen and stop. 

Stop everything you're doing and just leave

What if you were to take off your shoes and step outside

Feel the earth drumming beneath your feet

How would you feel? Would it hurt you? 

What would it be like if we all just stopped and did nothing but step outside. 

What if we all stopped and took a moment 

A moment in silence

A moment in life

What if you just stopped. 

Stopped for a moment

That's all it takes

To stop. To listen. To feel. 

What if

What if I dare you......
