Take a breath, look ahead,
Feel your body go,
Rush of wind, sound of steps,
It’s a race, it’s time to Go…

I wonder why, we often find,
Our lives are moving fast,
And moments pass, away from us,
…If only they could last.

And when we pause, to take a breath,
And look at what’s around,
The smallest things, can become so clear,
And truth, be sometimes found.

And is this just, the way we live,
The world in which we toil?
Like a pot that never comes to rest,
With water perpetually boiled.

But what if we, could stop and take,
Each moment in our day,
And hold it close, to linger on,
Not let it pass away…

I wonder what we’d see right then
The people, the words, the song,
To miss the glory, in every moment,
It seems a little wrong.

For in each day, the time exists,
To take that little break,
And rest ourselves, in peaceful bliss,
And in that moment, create…

A little space, a little thought,
To find our center in time,
And know that we, were meant for more,
A being, from the Divine…

And all around, the signs are there,
If only we can see,
The beauty of all creation’s things,
The joy it is, to be…

So, close your eyes, and feel the wind,
And let your motion cease,
And find the love within your heart,
The grace, the calm, the peace.

For the moments we find peace in silence… and connect with all of what matters.
