Slow Down


Relax, slow down

There's no need to run.

Walk, take a look around.

You see the ants marching like soldiers?

Do you see the seeds of life floating in the air?

You move too fast man,

Sit back and take a break.

See what's in front of you,

Behind you, around you.

Feel the wind pass through your soul.

Feel the sun drown you in its rays.

Feel life grabbing you at every limb.

Stop! Don't take another step,

You'll miss this and that.

Hear the innocence of the soft whispers of the children.

Hear the birds singing sweet melodies.

Listen to your heart, thumping, beating.
