Slow Down

days go by,
everyone rushing about.
no one taking the time,
to find the beauty in things.
to actually stop and see something,
i mean really see, not just look.
but they finally see it,
when they notice its gone.
lost to them forever.
but the memories remain.
photographs of the mind.
so take the time, 
slow down, breathe.
and look at all the things around you.
see the beauty in them.
sieze the beauty, Carpe Diem.
before its too late.
