Pause

What if one day time stopped.
The sunrise stopped half way through the sky,
The sun never finished rising and the moon never quite got to say goodbye.
What if the rain fall paused,
A million little spheres of water hovering in the air, suspended.
What if the flowers stopped blooming,
The grass stopped growing,
Does this mean that this new life would never reach its full potential?
When the waterfall stops flowing, crashing on the rocks below and spraying mist about.
When the rainbow stays frozen caught in the air for forever.
When our warm breaths make smoke with the cold air and it stays there, not drifting away into oblivion.
What if time stopped?
Would you enjoy the moment?
Would you capture the opportunity and save it for a rainy day when the rain doesn't stop falling.
Share it on a day when the flowers bloom and the water flows and helps them grow.
I would remember.
So what if time stops?
Take the time to pause.
Wait.
Listen.
Remember.
