Further from Progress?

Further and Farther
from
Plentiful
Progress

We find ourselves
becalmed.

Going no place at all.

And contrary
to the
urgent
whispers
shouting
into
our
ears,

Standing still

Is progress,
too.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is (usually) a weekly creativity prompt offered Mondays.
