Where I'm from we don't watch the clock
Time is not true
When did the world begin to spin faster?
What do I hold on to?
I want long songs
Boys like Elvis
Slow dances in the rain
Eternities to be showered
I want to be present for every last color in the sky
See the moon kiss the sun goodnight
Watch them switch it up
Hear all their tiny whispers
Why do you talk so loud, so fast?
You don't notice flowers or ladybugs
Skies that hold birds in perfect lines
And you will not remember that smile
Or how her skin felt
When it's important
Your clock hands are furious
They spin faster than a top
Can't we just sink into the sand?
And not the quick kind
Sand seduced by a thousand different crashing waves
Under a thousand different shooting stars
Slowly
Can't we count them all?
Before it is too late
Free ourselves from blinding city lights
So soon, we'll all be gone
So distracted, we do not care
We can't hear our angels here
So lets share all of our thoughts
Hold four hour conversations
Get lost inside our eyes, not our worlds
And never forget these little things
For there is nothing bigger

it's the little things that build
the foundations in our life
an if everyone jus chilled
an absorbed it all we'd b alrite
it takes a billion atoms
to create tha perfect smile
but it only take one frown
to make us feel vile
wen i look up at the sky at nite
therse a million stars shinin brite
an i absorb every lite
until tha dawn dose start 2 bite
cuz it's the little things its true
that make the diference in me an u

This reminds me of the simplicity of being young. So many forget the tranquility of what exists in life. This poem challenges you to slow down time and made me happy at a really hard time. I also adore your contests. You are spending your time well. about to embark on my 30th birthday and it's good to be reminded of why I should remain still upon such a fast paced world. I really love and appriciated this peice.

Chels, why are you so beautiful in every single way? You're the only person I know that I could ever be jealous of and that is saying a lot, I never get jealous of anyone.
You ended this so well,
Hold four hour conversations
Get lost inside our eyes, not our worlds
And never forget these little things
For there is nothing bigger
You are the best writer I ever met - or one of the greatest people I have ever known since I was 11. ♥ Rock on.
