The moment between the inhale and exhale
The pause
The moment between the push and pull of tides
The space

The quiet ache of almost
The shift of something becoming
A brief stillness
Then, a jolt of fear that it won’t

The world tilting gently forward
A promise, a breath held
The waiting — almost there, but not quite yet

The moment between now and ’til we meet again
Lean into
the moment in between
