Life in Slow Motion

Life in slow motion,

silent poetry of commotion,

of motive bursts of emotion

of cacophony, dizzying spells and potions

Something's gotta give way today,

the breaking point is near

and from nowhere these cracks appear,

and the seams seem to burst open because

we are not connected the way we used to be yesterday.

Life in slow motion,

How I wish it was abbreviated,

short sitcom pilot episodes,

laugh tracks,gags and advertisements

you graduate yesterday, tomorrow to be cremated

Life in slow motion,a dance till the end,

a mute procession 

of everything and everyone passing by

some laugh and some cry

some say their last goodbyes

Life in slow motion,the green blades of grass still sway

just as you say they do, in your dreams

in sunswept fields with babbling brooks and streams

that made you smile today

Life in slow motion,have you stopped and watched lately ?
