Too Fast

I think you are moving far too fast

Slow down for now...breathe

The air is just fine

Why don’t you take a swim...

The water is cool...inviting

Go ahead...take a dive under...

Ok...that’s far enough

Will you please come up now?

The scent of the rose is so beautiful

I am waiting...

Always waiting...forever is such a long time

Last in line yet first to go...

Senseless...confusion

Fills my overactive mind...

Overwhelming

But then I remember...

A different time...a different world

The hands of time so slow...

Arthritically clicking...ticking and talking

Yak...yak...yak

Number to number to number...

Hurry...impatient...I am waiting

I damn every painful moment...

I curse every painful movement

As the clock takes it’s sweet ass time...

Attempting to push the hours

Over the top of the hill...

Such a steep climb...complaining

Why won’t you stop...please

I am begging you...

To end the misery of?

Life is wonderful...

Fast...slow...easy...hard

It is all good...

Take a minute and rewind

Go back to yesterday...say goodbye...

A memory is just a wrinkle

Another today...as the petal falls...

I say good morning...beautiful mind.
