moments

There are moments when the world stops breathing
A sharp inhale and then silence
And for a few seconds you can hear
You can see
You can smell
You can taste and feel what is supposed to be
I hold my breath with the world in the stillness
I focus my mind on nothing
And everything that I can hear
I can see
I can smell
I can taste and feel what I’m supposed to experience
Then the world takes a breath
And so do I
Richer and wiser
