standing in the doorway



standing in the doorway

Standing in the doorway is not quite stopping.
It’s a pause held upright.

 

One place behind you.
Another ahead.

 

You haven’t decided what comes next yet.
You’re just there -
keys still in your hand.

 

It’s a moment that doesn’t ask for completion.
You can stay for a breath,
or pass straight through.

 

Either way,
it softens the movement from one place to another.
