How is that you describe what is often indescribable? These moments where it's like our bones ache and we can't quite find that peace, that perfected moment of repose, and we just wait.... wait for an action or for time to pass or to feel something different.

Reading this again, I'm reminded of when we "dissociate" and see the world moving and changing around us, seeing the sun in its positions, and we can't pinpoint what we need or how we need to be heard during this "pause."

So thoughtful and lovely in its reminiscence of those little breaks in the day.

Rania,
such an intriguing piece from you. I was imagining 'sleeping on the edge of a coffee cup' such an interesting analogy, along with the whole poem.
Nicely penned, M :)

I have no words for this but I'm so pleased to see it nominated

Only light moved and me too by these beautiful words.

Thank you all for your comments :) <3

i can relate to a certain degree. This is so magnificently portrayed. Keep it up!

I love this, Rania. My only suggestion would be a single dash instead of a comma after 'I paused for a moment' in line two as a comma doesn't serve up the length of pause I believe you are after. eg, 'I paused for a moment - longer than a moment'.
Anyway, just a suggestion. Well done.

Thank you Ben and Zia for your comments and for reading the poem! <3

I liked the imagery or should I say the scene
you have painted with your words...beautifully penned!
Congrats on the win!

The images I had from this piece blew my mind .. I froze while reading it ...

I loved every word

A favourite of mine.
