JOMO

JOMO

In the stillness of a quiet day,
Where the world’s bright noise fades away,
I find a joy both soft and deep,
In moments that I choose to keep.

No flashing lights, no crowded room,
No rush to chase a fleeting bloom.
The joy of missing out is this:
A life untouched by frantic bliss.

The book that waits, the tea that steams,
The quiet glow of private dreams.
No anxious tug to join the race,
Just peace within a slower pace.

For what is life if not my own,
A space where seeds of calm are sown?
Let others wander, shout, and roam—
I’ll build my joy in staying home.
