profound is such a profound word

we say a lot of words every day and more often than not, we come across with a word
a phrase
a sentence
a paragraph
a story
an anthology
a thought

that stops us in our tracks, assuming we had any.
we pause for a moment maybe because not pausing makes us a lot less interesting.

interesting because we realize that in the seemingly weak act of pausing we end up exercising our power, assuming we have any, over the moment
the word
the phrase
the sentence
the paragraph
the story
the anthology
the thought

and then suddenly,
we aren't so small
we aren't so unimportant
we aren't so unloved.

only to wake up and smile 'cause
we never were.
