pause

as the clock ticks by 

we lose those perfect moments

we rush through our lives

not breathing in the sweet air 

with plans from one hour to the next 

giving us no time to meditate on being

we lose the very essence 

of this world we call home

as we fly from place to place

as if each will catch fire

if we dont move fast enough 

we move faster than the ind 

blowing behind us as we run

in doing so, we miss the colors

the flowers, and the sunsets

why can't time stop

and the world just pause

so people can soak up the beauty 

of this world we belong to
