Le’at Le’at

Slowly slowly

I try to be

when time gets away from me

Time is fickle

Sort of like water

I can make it ripple,

Even make it broader

If I just close my eyes

And breathe

I can edit and revise

What I choose to believe

It starts with the body

A waterfall becomes a gentle stream

And I can slow my movements

to make my attention follow an ongoing theme

When I think about time

I get stressed

I yearn to define

that which I cannot protest

But if I stop thinking so much

And just be

I can appreciate just a touch

Of what it feels like to live free

Slowly slowly

Calmly calmly

Joyfully joyfully

Wholly wholly

Time is a gift

Use it wisely

Remember that when we are adrift, we can always shift

From flailing to floating

lightly

The magic is in the body

The change is in the mind

So what better time than now?

To just enjoy and unwind

I dare you

next time you are inclined to hurry

to go

slowly slowly
