What Stafford called "the pauses of eternity,"
are Heaven's intervention against entropy
(like Moses' power from Christ against the deep Red Sea)
where blissful moments gather, once more, leisurely
before entropic slopes slide inexorably.
Starward
The phrase quoted in the first line is from Clayton Stafford's poem, "Elegy For A Commuter."
Moses parted the Red Sea in Exodus 14.
