Pause to Action

When I look at the page
I pause…

Don’t over think it
Just go
Start with a memory and let it unwind to the sticking point.

And there
Let it rest for a moment
Re-live all it wants to share
Re-feel all it gives
Be in it.
Then let it go.

What comes is a gift
Not given every day
And yet a daily speaking
Of the thought
Bears fruit
Insight
Reflection
Further pause to action.
Later
It’s the Pensieve
It’s the wishing well
It’s the drop in the ocean
My thoughts, in pencil
Easier to erase.
