As a cork in a bottle
Dance without a pause

Vast empty space 
Beckoning us

Premium Member Think Twice

Listen to poem:
Decision time is up,
a once-over review
prompts déjà vu,
a pause to think twice through.
For thinking once 
is merely enough.

i make a point to pause
and count my many blessings
throughout the day
i am truly blessed ~
