by Christina Hubbard. It doesn’t take much
to slip, when
we think
we’re strong. When we’re doing
what we love, going for
dreams, making
waves in the world.
But maybe doing
Needs to stop,
Breathe,
Remember
Who gave
Feet their strength to run.
Hands, their grip to write.
Throat, its voice to praise,
Head, its thoughts to lead.
Body, its grace to stay
Bowed,
Restored in the break.
(Life-saving pause.)
This post is part of Five Minute Friday. Our one-word prompt was PAUSE.
