Listen to poem:
In a world that is constantly rushing and moving.
There is an aesthetic to life that is quite soothing.
Dolce far niente is an ideal state of mind to explore.
Graceful thread—a stronghold of magical lore!
With a cheerful expression on your face.
We yield to the comfort of the embrace.
A delightful trip in the midst of nothingness
It's time to restore dull lack and lean emptiness.
We savor our coffee while seated and slow.
Not idle, but taking a break from life buzz flow.
Reorganizing our vitality, unwinding our minds,
Watching passersby, leaving our worries behind.
We find comfort in being with those we love.
A canonic delight of keeping one hand in a glove
Time evolves, but we are glad and do not sigh.
We'll only cherish—that time before we die.
Observing the hum of life and its ebb and flow
We echoed its cinch we let our concepts grow.
Dolce far niente—where we may stroll and unwind
Trying everything without being bored or blind.
From coasts and seasides to the highest mountains,
Embracing wonders of nature and all its fountains.
No stress, no pressure; nothing matters.
At this moment—we let plow off our tethers.
We live in the present, with no hurdles to mention.
Embracing the joy of pure, unadulterated attention
In a world that's always rushing—always moving.
Dolce far niente is the key to truly grooving.
So let's bear a break, hinder down the pace,
Savor the sweetness of life's gentle embrace.
In this moment—where time looms still,
We find the true essence of our will.
