The Quiet Intervals

 

Between one breath and the next

I wonder why I’m here

and what here really means

when everything keeps moving.

 

I look for answers in small things

a puddle, a cloud

a moment that feels too short to hold.

I see myself in them

but never quite clearly.

 

Some days I wish I were a stone

quiet and sure.

Other days, the wind

free, even if lost.

 

Maybe life isn’t a question to solve

but a feeling to follow.

Maybe it’s enough

to listen

to the quiet

between knowing and wondering.
