Time Halted

no movement
         on its face
             time
            halted

reflection contemplation
      memories hope
      wishes desires
 relaxation nothingness
accelerated perceptions
          whatever

         thank you
these extra unmeasured 
          moments
           before
     the hands move

   the pulse continues
          endless
         together
        until mine
         doesn't
