Slow Down Poems - Poems about Slow Down

Slow Down
-Slow down- Even the sounds of rushing red waters pulsing... drown out the beats that blare in my head - Slow Down - My thoughts spin like a carousel of fervent beats, while I watch the harbors of still waters, a gentle surrender to time, drift away. Every stride toward solace meets the rush of a furious current that demands to be heard. BREATHE They say. But...

Slow Down Momma
Slow down Momma, I know it's hard, but these are the times you'll miss by far. Slow down Momma, the days may seem long, but remember your children need you to be strong. One more car seat to go, one more "terrible two's", but you can enjoy these moments should you choose. We push for the next chapter sometimes just...

Slow down. Catch your breath. Going too fast. To where? You don’t know! But you’ve got to get there. Can’t be slow. Can’t be late. Hurry. Hurry. You have to do something. Don’t know what. But you want what you want – NOW. It’s all about you. Be aware. Be wise. Slow down. You’re missing the best while striving for the unknown. ...

The Night is Not My Own
The night is not my own Reality is not here, it's not there. Is it real? The wind sounds like waves Is it some distant waves crossing on the shore Or is it just the trees whisper ways back and forth? Slow down mind Slow down mind Slow down mind Piercing thoughts, race like the horse with no end in sight Do...

Stop, Slow Down, Forward And Step Back
Life is short Don't forget to stop often Enjoy the scenery along the way. Don't let the rhythm of life trap you Slow down occasionally And enjoy a moment of peace. May you have the courage To move forward once And the tolerance to step back....

slow down worthy hermit, slow down notice how ego cravings clown be still now, meld with formless space bliss mists rise; choose therein to drown slow down the chase, slow down life’s pace thinking, not feeling, soul’s disgrace all’s within; there’s nothing our there God beckons, hasten to embrace slow down thought, let heart take the chair of God’s breath in us,...

Slow is better, slow down now, let go of thought and allow, music of soul, to surprise, as does at dawn, the sunrise. To hold poise in midst of noise, as soul presence that enjoys, the gap at each interlude, Is how bliss beats are renewed. Meld with silence, dissolve thus, that fears no longer nonplus, reborn with each breath intake and in timeless time awake....

Today I’m thankful for my ability to slow down to move at a relaxed…more determined pace…. Remembering: Life should be more of a leisurely walk… than a rushed and hurried race....

If we would enliven silence, let’s rest first, thought borne violence, placid and tranquil, like a lake, that sensing soul, we may awake. Body ages and life force ebbs, yet ego incessantly begs. Now’s our time, either make or break, that sensing soul, we may awake. Invoking divine magnetism, bliss ignites our mind-body prism; nodes within form begin to shake, that sensing soul, we may awake. In...

It’s not hard work that kills a man, But overwork shortens lifespan. Indolence also does the same, No work sure makes a person lame. Many, in order to gain clout, Work so hard, they wear themselves out. Taking regular time to rest, helps us to perform at our best. Better to wear out than rust out, Is what the workaholics shout. Rest is for the...

Premium Member Thoughts From Me Slow Down Muse
I like the challenge of a new write contest The crisp white page inspires me Whether flat on a desk or up on a word processor the possibilities are fathomless In seconds my muse is typing away With no help or direction from me I am amazed at what she can do without any conscious help from me The second I think...

We Slow Down
we slow down cooperation and compromise we discover each other in new ways why we fell in love is found again with an aged maturation we eat our warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream we drink our vanilla almondmilk and admire the blue sky and the puffy clouds honest conversation is like a waterfall nursing itself back to health we leave...
