Tempos of Tranquility: Embracing the Pause Button of Life



A momentary distraction, a chance to pause
From the endless cycle of thoughts in our mind
A break from the weight of the world we bear
The beauty of a sunset or a blooming flower
A chance to breathe and connect with our being
And let go of the anger and frustration we feel

In this moment of stillness, we can heal
The wounds that fester and cause us to pause
To connect with our essence, our inner being
And let go of the chatter in our mind
To bask in the glory of nature's flower
And release the burden we tend to bear

For too long, we have been taught to bear
The weight of the world and never heal
To ignore the simple joys like a flower
And forget to take a moment to pause
To quiet the relentless noise in our mind
And connect with our true being

But in this moment of pause, we are seeing
The beauty that we tend to bear
The magnificence of the world beyond our mind
And the power of stillness to help us heal
To embrace the present moment and pause
And take in the splendor of a delicate flower

For in this fragile beauty of a flower
We see the essence of our own being
And the reason to slow down and pause
To lighten the load we tend to bear
And find the strength and courage to heal
The wounds that fester in our mind

In the quiet stillness of our mind
We can find the beauty of a flower
And the power of nature to help us heal
To connect with the essence of our being
And release the burden we tend to bear
And allow ourselves the chance to pause

So take a moment to pause, let go of the weight you bear
And bask in the beauty of a flower, let your mind connect with your being
And find the power to heal, to let go of anger and frustration and embrace the pause.

In this pause, we find a moment of grace
A moment to reflect and find our place
In the grand scheme of life and existence
And to appreciate the beauty and persistence
Of the natural world that surrounds us
And the wonder and mystery that astounds us

We see the complexity of the universe
And the simplicity of a single verse
In a poem that captures the essence of life
And the struggle and triumph of human strife
And we realize the power of the pause
To help us see beyond our mental walls

In this moment, we find a sense of peace
A chance for our troubled minds to release
The worries and fears that plague our days
And to focus on the present in myriad ways
To connect with the world and with each other
And to remember that we are all sisters and brothers

For in this pause, we find our common ground
And the beauty of diversity that abounds
In the myriad ways we experience life
And the perspectives that color our strife
And we learn to appreciate the uniqueness
Of each individual and their own meekness

So let us embrace the power of the pause
And the beauty that surrounds us without a cause
Let us find the courage to release our pain
And the wisdom to see the world again
In all its beauty and complexity
And the interconnectedness of our reality.
