That’s where—
Life begins
A pause
That’s where—
The mind rests
The body heals
The spirit resets
A pause
That’s where—
The beauty reveals
The story unfolds
The mystery unveils
The truth—bitter or sweet
A pause
That’s where—
Silence thrives
Love blossoms
Or they wither away
For better growth
A pause
That’s where—
Nothing happens
Everything halts
Thoughts churn
A pause
That’s where—
Ego hurts
Sanity fractures
Body erodes
Beyond repair
A pause
That’s where—
Conflicts heighten
Despair darkens
Hope dawns
A pause
That’s where—
Will flourishes
Destiny collapses
Or the other way round
And ultimately
A pause
That’s where—
Life ends—seemingly
Yet, it circles back
Into the grind
