Lifeboat 21

When All of life has paused

Quietly waiting

Like a heron facing sunset –

Ready For Onward Rest.

 

In the peace dawn –

the unveiling of the sun.

And the owl’s soft callings sleep.

The whippoorwill sings songs

at the falling moon.

 

This. Pause.

Take a breath. Be

still, you think of me

between the darkness

and light.

And I know.
