There is a moment between inhales and
Exhales, where time hangs.
In this moment, we are
One with nature and the world is at peace.
Wipe every fear from your mind
Because the heartbeat realigns now
With the flow of the wind, and you will find
The rustle of grass has never been so striking
Sending a chill down the spine
There is a moment between inhales and
Exhales, where time will stay
Just as a child’s swing reaches the zenith:
An incredible moment of delay
Between rising and falling
Time will hang so that Heaven may
Guide, protect, and smile down.
Until one day the breaths will cease,
Forever we will be in between
The inhales and exhales; forever at peace
Without time to bind
If you breathe with all of your heart, time will hang
And if you love with all of your heart, you’ll find
A heaven in the peace of a moment.
Heaven knows it is no coincidence
That the crests and troughs of a rosary line up perfectly
With our delicately place thumbs: woven like lace,
The beads held dearly by our fingers pour out a grace
Felt in our heart of hearts, and to you I say:
Heaven knows it is no coincidence,
For these hands were created to pray.
