Time Breaks

Time takes a holiday, somewhere, south of forever
with seasons never changing and us, suspended,
grateful for the chance to just lie here
stretched between the birches

and sway. To and fro like the way
the weight slips through the
dimension that we're stuck in, waiting
for time to get back to work.

A vacation from worry, a great notion
that somewhere between the moon
and the ocean there is a tide, ever
changing and us, falling for the moment

and caught up in each other
as we sway to and fro together
beating through the season
as time joins us on our holiday.
