Slow Life

Slow life -
One at a time.
I say, you needn't strive,
Let the breeze make it chime.

Whatever you achieved,
I do not care.
You haven't lived,
If you don't stand and stare.

Rushing through befits the drains,
I say, borrow not their traits.
'cause the lighter it rains,
The stronger petrichor emanates.

Slow life -
It's you at your prime.
And easy is your life,
When you let go what's not worth a dime.
