Pause
Pause- a poem. Sometimes I sit here Drinking my coffee slowly hitting pause on life Sometimes I stand and I stare at stars above Taking it all in Sometimes I could cry with the frustration of life Then I know to pause I know to pause, reflect I know I will be better after I breathe some So I drink coffee I read a book, or just breathe. and clear my mind out To-do lists, away! Frustrations cease for moments Short moments, but still Now I feel better More like myself again, now I can be stronger I forgot I was never made to do it all Humans need to breathe. I am but human I am not superman or a robot. Too bad. But I am better built to stop and reflect on the things God has done. Copyright Shannon Meiers 2018 Originally Published in the Chimes, fall 2018
