Now Note: the sound of focus

There was a moment today
when everything went quiet.
Not because the world slowed down
but because I did.

No music.
No inbox.
Just the scratch of a pencil.
The creak of the chair.
The sound of my own thinking,
without the need to rush it.

I remembered that focus 
Is listening.
