The Pause
Date added: 29/05/2020
THE PAUSE
Sentences, like people,
need spaces to breathe.
Between the full stop
and the Capital
lies the pause.
Without the space,
sentences are breathless;
without the Sabbath,
life is restless;
without the pause,
the rest is lifeless.
Sentences, like God,
have a preferential option
for the pause.
