Strategies to Find Peace and Tranquility - Exploring your mind

There are times when each of us for reasons must pause, we need a time out and a short reprieve; perhaps to care for health or life, need a little distance. Some space to contemplate, ponder, separate, think; a lull for just a short passage of time. It is fine to take a break and come back sublime, nothing wrong with a place to rest your ink; we cannot write with resistance; sometimes, life is all strife. Maybe, you need tranquility for thoughts to weave; could it be you are in a state of blahs. Dwelling in deep darkness and seeing only flaws, this is not you and quickly you must leave; though we feel stabbed with a sharp knife, just make an appearance. Take a deep, deep breath, not the time to sink or blink; and in quietus pen poems in rhyme. ____________________ January 27, 2021 Poetry/Rhyme/Just a Little Pause Copyright Protected, ID 01-1324-278-27 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Hiatus sponsor, Chantelle Anne Cooke, Judged 02/24/2021 First Place

Congratulations on your win Constance! Love the creative rhyme scheme linking the stanzas. So well done. You really cover the creative process and the need for "hiatus" in that process so definitively! Sending you many blessings!

Such a brilliant piece that's so timely for this world in its madness Constance, but also timely for myself to stop and pause as things seem all not as I would like. Thanks for your pen, Blessings, Gordon
