the rush slows down

If you asked me where the last weeks have gone
it would take me a while
to remember, and answer.

Flying in the spaces
between the lines on the to-do list
to get there faster.

Planning for the future
making the most of time,
to stay in the present moment
will put me behind.

Today, the rush slows down
I can enjoy stillness for moments more
though it feels foreign to me now.

To stay on the surface is easy.
To find the still waters beneath;
beautifully difficult.
