Let time stand still
like the photo
of a toddler laughing in a fountain
like the moment
of spinning with joyful abandon
like the sigh
of hands holding hands, lingering

Let it pause
not to allow for more rushing
but to bring us
to quietude and to a holy savoring

Let time stand still
like the heron
balanced, patient, content, ready
like the dream
waking slowly so as not to lose its vision
like the Divine
willing to stretch and wait
for life to breathe without hurry, without fear
