I must stop and breathe

take a moment

I must take it all in


I must slow down

I must close my eyes and feel everything around me

It (life) all goes by so fast, too fast

If I could just lie back for a moment

I'd watch the clouds take shape

and then re-shape

If I could just not move and listen to myself breathe

in and out

in and out

Listen to the sound of the trees

Listen the world around me

Only

if I could just slow down!
