A Pause

In a time
When so much else
Will not stay still,
A pause affords
The time to hear
Chords, harmonies
Unfamiliar, dissonant
Suggesting places unexplored.
I dare to hear them again
To place them somewhere
Relating to where I’ve been
Or to a “where” I’ve never been.
To savor and to save
These precious moments
That lie beside the stream of life
And make them part of my being
Where they might provide
Means to understand
What I cannot,
Now.

    Pauses being beside the stream of life and being able to return to them is so appealing to me, if only I found it easy to pause. I am often afraid to pause!

    I just went back to re-read your Patience piece. Seems the cat is finding one of these pauses.
