Pause

   Because there is so little time


              We need 
              to pause 
                 more,
              we need 
           not to rush,
           but savour
        each and every 
      precious moment.

      Like a fat raindrop
   trembling on the sill of
       a backlit window,
         pregnant with 
             gradually 
              accruing
              volume.
 
             Till it falls,
             in its own 
               sweet 
                time
                into 
             nothing,
            re-formed
                 into 
                 the
             oneness 
                  of
                 all
              things.
