[Not] Life in the Fast Lane
Pounding, bam, bam, bam.
Slapping, bam, bam, bam.
Hundreds of feet hit the cold ground
a stampede of people all around
Going, going, going onwards.
And why not?
Why not run forwards, forwards, forwards?
Why not look forwards, forwards, forwards?
Towards the mountains and the seas
pursuing invisible goals and dreams
Chasing, Chasing, Chasing life.
But Why?
Pausing, sunshine, breeze, warmth.
Stopping, noticing, feeling, living.
Life again has joy
and is not just some endless void
Going, going, going onwards.
Because
Walking, step. pause. step.
Walking, pause. step, pause.
A differend path, a different pace
this is the life I will chase
Living, Living, Living life.
