• Stop, just stop or at least
    Slow down a little, it’s all
    Going by too fast for me.
    Need a chance to take it in.
    So fast now, like it’s ending
    Crash! Right on into the wall,
    Just another old dead end.

    Slowing down I still need time,
    To take it all in before--
    It’s gone, forever this time.
    The leaves, flowers, birds singing
    Peaceful breeze, and gentle rain
    Washing away negative
    Feelings, anxiety, gone.
    Freedom never felt so good!

    It’s all slowing down again.
    Slow motion reaching closer;
    Grasping for its hold over--
    Everything speeds up again,
    Jumping back into motion.
    Picking up more speed as it
    Shifts up into overdrive.
    Running, rushing forward, fast,
    Touch the shadows cast by the--
    Shining, ever so brightly
    The last moon of the summer.
