Running to court, a quick filing,
before racing to the office,
for a swallow of coffee, gathering papers
and another hearing at another court.
But between these, the motion of the day,
Stopping, pausing, watching;
Standing still, reverent,
for the raising of the colors
before the courthouse.
A moment of reflection, pausing,
caught in the bright morning sun;
Time standing still;
Grateful for where I stand.
