Take a Moment to Pause

By: Alicja Carter


Checking the clock

Take a moment to pause

Sanity lies in the balance

Doing enough

Just being us

Able to take on a challenge

Expectations in line

With supports to sustain

Get it together, together

A reassuring hug

Warms from within

Each day we're getting better

Finding purpose in our work

And hours we can manage

With a good enough belief

Connecting to our source

No need to force

We experience more relief.

We continue on

as we've always done

Open to new perspectives

Loving ourselves

Going nowhere fast

Connected to our intentions

We vent our troubles

Again and again

Take action and set the tone

Calm inside

With each passing day

Because we know we're not alone

And with all of our efforts

We take a turn towards the light

Sifting through all the demands

Our healing ways of coping

Leaves us prepared once again

As we present with open hands.
