Pause
Thoughts run on unbidden,
Words fall out of synch,
Movements stagger and stumble,
On and on,
Minute after minute,
Hour after hour,
Judgement after assumption,
Hope after downfall,
Until within, a hiatus,
A pause to breathe.

Reason to pause
She walks,
towards the gate
Shoulders hunched,
feet dragging.
Tears run down her cheek,
as her hands wring.
She walks,
past my car,
As I wait, at the lights,
paused, captive watcher
Every morning
My heart breaks.
As I watch her
Unable to help.

Brilliant my clever friend! The first one I really felt in myself. The second one I felt the sadness of being a helpless observer along with you.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to see you today. You looked radiant and your locks so lucious! I'm slowly growing mine again.
