The World Can Wait

Sometimes the world whispers,

its pull soft and low,

urging you onward,

but today, you say no.

Close your eyes to the hum,

let the weight fall away,

the tasks can stand still,

they’ll find another day.

The clock might keep ticking,

but time takes a pause,

in the hush of your breathing,

there’s a greater cause.

Breathe deep, lie still,

feel your heartbeat’s own pace,

the world can keep spinning,

you don’t have to race.
