Drifting


Slow and steady

Soft and sweet

Things are calm

And I'm calm

Focusing on the now

The future

The past

 

But things are catching up

Faster and faster

Till everything you hold is slipping away

The changes taking place

Each one harder than the next

Till you feel like you will break

 

Head spinning

Heart pounding

I want to go back

I want to relax

To remember 

 

It calms

Slow and steady

Soft and sweet
