Near Life Experiences.

A momentary pause;

It seemed to me,

And moments paused;

Can for ever be.

And in this stream,

That flows between,

Two pauses such,

That much do seem.

Indifferent strangers,

Whose wait does lean,

In frequent glances,

 As if the gleam-

Of ticking hands,

Of time would deem,

How near life,

This leap had been...
