There are pauses amidst study, and even pauses of seeming idleness, in which a process goes on which may be likened to the digestion of food. In those seasons of repose, the powers are gathering their strength for new efforts; as land which lies fallow recovers itself for tillage.

Many Menopause
At, the many menopause there are MANY PAUSES
men pause
Priests pause
And dogs sometimes wait on corners
Cats pause, sleep, and eat, and scratch their claws,
And the many pauses stops sleep
Mind leaps
limbs squeak then later creak
legs go to sleep
At the foot of the many mounts of pauses
The summit dissapears without a peep
Thoughts implode
awoken from their sleep
At a concert (classical)
A manly diva hits the keys like liberace
A many pause of clearing throats in silence
To cover up the bigger pause of being mistaken, then
An old man in a dress, hobbles out off the podium to take a leak
Meanwhile a million women over forty toss and turn in a pool
of troubled sleep
The pauses trickle on in patterns
like a carefully choreographed song
People shuffle foot slow in endless queues
Some stand in galleries like statues taking in the view
Meanwhile a women enraged and certain of her plight
Takes out a writ against her ovaries
And the OESTROGEN that left one lonely night
Her unloved spouse believes she's finally lost the plot
HOW CAN SHE PLACE A HORMONE IN THE DOCK?
So it was no suprise when the trial came
Her OESTROGEN just didn't show and couldn't take the blame!
The Judge cried 'She's a LOON!
And tried to console her with some HRT to go!
But still not satisfied she took her plight
To the Jerry Springer Show
And not suprising after PAUSING many pauses
Her Oestrogen just failed to show
I rest my case! she finally said
My fertile days of Eggs have gone
And then she paused a MANY PAUSE
And put the kettle on!

I don't think I handle the notes much differently from other pianists. But the pauses between the notes - ah, there is where the artistry lies!!

Haiku Quest
exquisite words that evoke pauses,
those pauses that deepen the moments
like the shadows the candles
cast over the the wall.
i search my mind for moments
locked in my psyche, still waiting
to be freed into the ocean of expressions,
such as the nesting hen i found using her beak to move her egg closer to herself,
the monkeys that lined the roadside for hangouts from tourists and
the toad that stole into my bathroom
to enjoy a bath with me.
in this haiku quest, i stumble onto
artistic treasures on mental floors
waiting to be strewn into
three liner jewellery,
the brain now and then throwing gems at me challenging me to put the sparkles into them

Fallow
Fallow, allow, low, flow, foal, fowl, of, law, fall;
And like a fallow ground in the land of your muse!
But, the forbidden assemblies are always around you.
Chastise,
Remain,
Overrun,
Overturn,
You have eaten the fruits of lies! !
But, i am ready to heal you with my love;
So, wake up and turn your life around to meet up righteousness.

Who lends recovers not; or if he recovers, recovers not all; or if not all, not much; of if much, a mortal enemy.
It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water; also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion.

Rimer
The rimer quenches his unheeded fires,
The sound surceases and the sense expires.
Then the domestic dog, to east and west,
Expounds the passions burning in his breast.
The rising moon o'er that enchanted land
Pauses to hear and yearns to understand.

Food and waste
From the cradle to the grave,
We gulp every thing as sweat
And after the process of digestion
The food defecates as filth.
The world to a child is honey.
The world to the old turns a filth.

Nature's music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.
I don't think the process was successful and should be inspected closer. I am not afraid to say I am not familiar with the entire process, so before commenting further I would have to study the process more in depth.

The true law of the race is progress and development. Whatever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.
The pause enhances.
She is such like any other beauty.
She looks more than such beauties
By the pause that she gives
In between her appearances.
Pauses enhance the musical notes

Unplanted Land
Unplanted Land
Things made by man never impressed me, but the fallow land,
where I live, which is going back to nature’s way does impress.
On my walks I see how each plant strive towards the light, one
may say, as man seeks god, but here it is not about being better
or more powerful, it’s just nature. That’s way I see Eifel tower
as a symbol of power, pride and vanity. But in the back of my
mind an unpleasant thought arises: could it be that wars are
a natural cause? Nature’s way of insuring that only the strong
survives? That peace is like fallow land, beautiful but useless?
