Pressing Pause from Gemini by Cathy McManamon

Martha me
Too busy worrying what needs doing
Stop and see
Just take a minute and jump in it
Life is passing much too quickly
Must slow down and breathe in deeply
Pressing pause, I come to see
What you mean to me

You are safe, you are warm
You are a haven in the storm
You are wise, you are deep
You have awakened me from my sleep
Now I'm stepping off the shore
With eyes wide open, seeing more
I am not afraid to wade, then swim
Your essence pulls me further in

On my own
Barely coasting, joy I'm ghosting
Filling in
Firmly seated where I'm needed
Time to drop the things
That aren't mine to should any more
Pressing pause, I come to see
What you mean to me

You are safe, you are warm
You are a haven in the storm
You are wise, you are deep
You have awakened me from my sleep
You are safe, you are warm
You are a haven in the storm
You are wise, you are deep
You have awakened me from my sleep
Now I'm stepping off the shore
With eyes wide open, seeing more
I am not afraid to wade, then swim
Your essence pulls me further in

Pressing pause, I come to see
What you mean to me.
