world a stage, ego the cage
where fire of desire does rage
tame thought tempests of the mind
slow down child, turn a new page

Slow down, even with prayer, look at SKY
So easy to forget, as with God, and why?
We THINK we must hurry. Don't. Attend fully.

Honey Kisses

My long kisses glide
                     slow down your neck,
                                             like honey drips from a spoon....

Star Stain

Will stars stain the sky?
When the universe doth spin
Widdershins all night
Will streaks of light fill the sky
As they attempt to slow down?

But when it does happens it will happen too fast
Just as I want time to slow down.

Mustn't slow down 
	headed crosstown
To a barn made of lodgepole pine.

There's a showdown 
	at the hoedown
Where we dance with cows and swine.

Take Five

Just take five with me.
Stop and breathe the cool night's air.
Slow down and touch me.
This is how you show me love
When you slow down arm-in-arm.

Premium Member Go, Go, Go

When we're young
   we go, go, go
But time, it seems
   moves so slow...

Then we age
   and we slow down
While time speeds up
   ~ goes to town

Watch how you go
Try to go slow
You don't know what's around the bend.
If you travel too fast
You won't last
Time will catch up with you at life's end

Hurrying

Lazy, carefree days from long ago…
       Haunt me when I am rushed.
Why can’t the world just slow down a little?
       It’s almost as if I’m being pushed.

Slow Down

Slow down and remain
eight years old and all squirmy
footie pajamas and dolls

glitter on tables
tea parties and teddy bears
and you weren't always busy.
