Paused

I will be fine, there will be a 'time after' this I'll exist within it, once again find bliss Until then I will walk a delicate line There will be a 'time after' this, I will be fine If there's a pocket of calm, I'll fully immerse Treading carefully so no bubbles burst If I navigate with care I will come to no harm I'll fully immerse, if there's a pocket of calm I rest in my bed at the drop of a hat I'm not ready to over analyse that I'll focus on all the good things instead At the drop of a hat, I rest in my bed I'll take an hour, perhaps I need a day There's a power drain that's hard to convey But out of play too long creates a tower Perhaps I need a day, I'll take an hour Retain the swan song, let it catch in my throat There's nothing wrong here, nothing of note I'll feel better before too long Let it catch in my throat, retain the swan song

Sometimes we all have those moments where we need to focus on all the little good things instead, as youv stayed here, and just pause and be still, listen to maybe the silence, and what it says. I wouldnt want to turn into a spiritual preacher here but i must say, youv got it figured and this poem for some reason really stands out for me, for the way youv penned your thoughts just effortlessly in such a creative manner! I must try write like this oneday! Pleasure reading this dear dd!Best wishes
