An interval of silence
when your arm no longer bows
music at rest
time to breathe
An interval of rest
between reps and sweat
your muscle regroups
lives to fight another set
An interval of breath
dozy conscientiousness
before sleep carries you
into the shadows
An interval of quiet
before the kids wake up
and after the dog has been walked
coffee steam swirls up your nose
An interval of observation
standing in lines
watching the cashier
have a good or bad day
An interval of thought
Mouth closed mind open
walking about
in the shoes of someone else
An interval of grace
for that momentary glance
that says I’ve got your back
for the child still snoring on a school holiday
An interval of peace
a cup of a tea
the list that doesn’t need
to be started right now
