Pauses

Pauses.
We all need pauses. To breathe.
To smile.
To forgive.
To accept.
To recover.
And resist.
We require the space.
To see clearly.
To heal.
To quench that enduring thirst.
We deserve peace.
And freedom.
From the shackles of misery.
We need pauses.
So we can just fly away.
Or merely roam.
For sanity.
For joy.
For serenity.
Pauses.
We all need pauses.
