VERY SLOWLY How many years have drifted by, Time rushes swiftly on. And I, at times, pause myself, So very slowly I go, And in myself get lost. Very slowly, I take my time, To lose myself, Within my being, Deep in thought. I take my pause, So very softly, I look and listen, I lose myself within, Cease thinking, And only feel, That beating heart, That soul, That throbs, That feels, And I forget, Of everything, no more. I turn to me, And let myself just sleep, Within those dreams. Sometimes I read verses, So very softly, Just as I like it. Very calm, I stop my clock, And rest.
