When
All of life has paused
Quietly waiting
Like a heron facing sunset - 
Ready
For Onward Rest.

In the peace dawn
- the unveiling of the sun.
And the owl's soft callings sleep.
The whippoorwill sings songs
at the falling moon.

This. Pause.
Take a breath. Be
still.
You think of me.
Between the darkness
and Light.
And I know.


Shelley Rae Bell
