i take the moments to enjoy the peace
the moments where you get to the drs office 5 minutes early
the moments of waiting in the room
the moments before anyone else comes into the office
the moments in the car alone with the music blaring
the moments in the bathroom when no one else is there
the moments on the sidewalk just me
the moments after her breath slow and she's finally fallen asleep
the moments where i lay in bed, my head hits the pillow hard and i try so damn hard to not think about that, or her, or him, or this or that
to just be
just be in bed
rest
take the moment where there is finally silence
but there won't be total silence
the moments before i myself finally drift to sleep.....
Isn't it astounding that we who give everything can feel, in our heart of hearts, like thieves of time?
