Recess

We should stop and take time
Is a phrase to remind
Often paced
In this race
We call life
We will face
Ourselves
Stumble and fall
Far from grace
Get upset
Thrown off track
Or lose sight of
And just plain forget

A break put aside
Even small amount set
Where our life is placed on pause
No more trying to get
We are not running or chasing
This moment is still
Left behind is that drive
To consume and fulfill

For a minute
It is all silent
We clear our filled heads
Considering no more
On what's done
And what's said
Meditating
A stillness
To find inner peace
Or get back
What's been lost
If not all
Just a piece!
