The Power of Pause
In the hustle and bustle, we often forget
The gentle whisper urging us to reset
Chasing dreams with relentless pace
We overlook the need for a quiet space
Our minds, like rivers, need moments of still
To gather strength and replenish the will
Yet we push and we strive, ignoring the plea
For a pause, a breath, a moment to be free
The world spins fast, a dizzying dance
But in the quiet, we find our chance
To listen to the heart's soft call
To rest, to breathe, to let it all fall
In the silence, wisdom softly speaks
Of the strength found in gentle peaks
Where rest is not weakness, but a gift
A chance for the soul to gently lift
The trees know well when to shed
The leaves that no longer serve, now dead
They stand bare, yet strong, in the winter's chill
Awaiting the spring with a patient will
We too must learn from nature's grace
To find our rhythm, our own pace
To let go of burdens, to release the strain
And find the beauty in the refrain
For in the pause, the world becomes clear
The path ahead, no longer a fear
With rested eyes we see anew
The wonders life holds, waiting for you
Take a moment, heed the call
Embrace the art of rest, let the worries fall
For in the stillness, you'll find your way
To brighter tomorrows and a better day
