Pause For a Moment

Between each word and syllable
There are pauses
Ones that represent
Thought and, too, conveying
A lapse for dramatic effect

Between each beat of my heart
There are pauses
Ones that tell me
Of love and how it effects life
Inspiring passion for love and life

Yes..perhaps we don't take enough time to pause and reflect, these moments that pass by so quickly, sometimes overlooking what might me most precious. Well done!~ Carrie
