Learning the Pause {Day 17:Pause}




I kept looking for the pause button.
Just a short rest,
Time to recharge,
Reset,
Change perspective.

I filled my days with busy.
This was the way,
The world said so,
Keep pushing,
Don't stop.

The pause button is illusive.
In my sights,
My heart says,
Reach out,
Take a breath.

Distraction by the busy.
The pause
Forgotten,
Slipped by,
Kept pushing.

My body forced a pause.
Brief moments of
Lapsed time,
Drained,
Left wondering.

More force for the pause.
Mentally,
Physically,
Emotionally,
Exhausted.

I took the leap
Paused.
Then pushed.
Tried to fix.
Didn't allow the true pause.

There is a day,
Commanded
To pause.
Sabbath rest.
Sabbath peace.

I now take that pause
Seriously.
Work in progress,
Learning the pause,
Reset.
