We live in a time, when life is so fast,
the future soon becomes the past,
sometimes its hard to keep the pace,
you feel your in a frantic race,

So its time to stop and think,
the years are gone in just a blink,
stop your self now, in your tracks,
sit back and rest, try to relax,

Close your eyes, feel the sun on your face,
drift off into a beautiful place,
listen to music, forget the time,
put up your feet, with a glass of wine,

Read a book, get lost in fiction,
remove from your life, worry and friction,
float of in to meditation, open your mind new sensations,
have a long luxurious bath, phone a friend have a laugh,

For a while leave worries behind,
take the moment to unwind,
so when your back in lifes fast pace,
you feel theres nothing you cant face. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 256 [topic] => 21 [informant] => lillyjane [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Just reading this piece of work made me feel relaxed, that's a very good quality to have when writing poetry. You should look into getting your work published, this is a very good poem and needs to be read by the fast pacing world!
