A Moment Out of Time
When the world pauses, and life’s essence reveals itself.
The clock stood still, its hands at rest,
No pulse, no tick, no beating chest.
The world hushed soft, a gentle sigh,
As if the earth had paused the sky.
The air hung thick, yet light as air,
A fragile thread spun unaware.
Each second stretched, a fragile line,
This fleeting, fragile moment—mine.
No past to chase, no future near,
Only the now, so sharp, so clear.
A baby’s cry, a tear, a laugh,
The universe split in half.
No rush, no race, no forward bend,
No start, no finish, no end to end.
Just this one breath, this beating rhyme—
A moment stolen out of time.
And when it passed, as moments do,
The clock resumed its steady cue.
Yet deep within, the silence stayed,
A timeless echo life replayed.
