like walking in a field full of sunflowers
and inhaling the essence of the earth
beautiful colors fill my spirit
surrounding me with positive vibes
that tickle my insides
laughing almost hysterically at how
simple things could really be
if we all just took the time to enjoy it
...i stopped early

i stopped early and heard the birds sing a new song
similar to yesterdays but not exactly the same
like a song continued in a different key
that bird whistled and it lullaby'd my spirit
i closed my eyes and imagined
that i was deep in a dream
hoping never to awake from it

i stopped early...

i took time to realize that the lines in the street
were almost divine
wondering where they'd lead
hopefully to a place of peace
its true...all roads end ..
but do we have to reach the end so quickly?

lets stroll slowly singing old tunes
holding hands like lovers do

i know u remember

when things weren't so fast and in an instant
almost microwavable

i walked slowly down this path reminiscing on the days
when things were so much simpler ...tell me you remember

steadily walking down a trail that lead to wherever i wanted
knowing that tomorrow, again my hectic life would prevail
but not today...
you see today..
...i stopped early
and enjoyed the beauty of today...
if only
for today
