In a life of speed A long lost sense Keen to your saroundings A second of darkness you see As light leaves your blinking eyes Feel the warmth leave your tippy nose As you breathe in the cold morning air As you walk down the street See where your sole steps next How cold your door handle feels How their mouths curl as they speak How long a chair drags before its in position Feel your weight shift as you sit Are you concious of your breathing? How deep is your inhale? How long is your exhale? How smooth is the pen you hold? Feel the tiny earthquakes As you drag pen through paper Can you see how tall the grass is Will the buds bloom soon? Slow down a bit Are you alive...or are you just living?
