This Is The Time - Alice Klein

[Larry Robinson]

This Is The Time

This is the time for holding still.
It is the space between breaths.
It is before you pick up the pen.
And after the last syllable.
It is the mountain lake unshattered.
It is before thought, that hungry fish,
rises crashing. It is after the ripples 
have spent themselves on the silty shore.
It is precious.
Do not invent requirements.
Do not try to remember.
Holding still a while
will not kill you.
