Poem - How about

How about we just stop for a moment

stop and breathe. Stop and breathe.

How about we look each other in the eyes

and say nothing now

how about we let our souls speak

just for a moment.

How about we feel each other’s company

in the deepest places in our minds

just for a moment.

How about we touch each other’s hearts

and let the warmth of our touch calm our broken souls

just for a moment.

How about we give ourselves time

to feel. To feel all the feelings we keep inside

deep, hidden

just for a moment.

How about we let our thoughts free, flying

breathing

just for a moment.

How about we embrace everything we are

and stop trying to be what we are not

just for a moment.

How about we face ourselves and accept who we see

in the mirror

just for a moment.

How about we finally confess to ourselves

that You are enough. That I am enough.

oh, would you please hold my hand

and face the sun with me

how about - forever.
