Stop running…why the haste
Slow down… For a moment
S…l…o…w d…o…w…n
Hold my hand, and come with me
.
.
See that tree over there
Come stroke her velvet leaves
Embrace her trunk
Lean your head over hers
Stand still
Close your eyes
Hold your breath
Listen
Can you hear her heart beating?
Be amazed… Be in awe!
.
.
Come invite this butterfly
To the palm of your hand
Watch her flapping her splendid wings
Teasing you, with hide and seek
While she leaps flying far
Look with eyes open wide
At the marvel of design
Be amazed… Be in awe!
.
.
Take off your shoes
Throw them away
Tread on your tiptoes
Feel the softness, laugh with joy
As you tickle the grass below
Kiss the tender loving hand
Who laid such magic carpet down
All creations are VIPs
No distinction no favouritism
Endless kindness, full of grace
Be amazed… Be in awe!
.
.
Come closer, smell this rose
Kneel in front and fill your soul
S…l…o…w…l…y
Do not hasten, do not ignore
Her heavenly scent is made for you
Caress the petals… and enjoy
Fill your being with gratitude
Fall on your knees
Praise the maker, head bowing down
Boundless gifts… Love Divine
Be amazed… Be in awe!
