Pyxidis.fr, faites parler vos passions !

have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round?
or listenend to the rain
slapping on the ground?
ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
you better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short .
the music won't last.
do you fun through each day
on the fly?
when you ask 'how are you?'
do you hear the reply?
when the day is done
do you lay in your bed
with the next hundred chores
running through your head?
you better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
ever told your child
we'll do it tomorrow?
and in your haste
not see his sorrow
ever lost touch,
let a good friendship die
cause you never had time
to call and say 'hi'
you better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
when you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss half the fun of getting there.
whn you worry and hurry through your day,
it is like an unopened gift
thrown away.
life is not a race.
do take it slower,
hear the music,
before the song is over.

That is a beautiful poem. It is really captivating, heartbreaking and touching, but still there is some hope in it, isn’t there? I too have tears in my eyes. It really tells the truth, you know. Life is short and you should live it to the fullest.
