Slow Down

When the mind runs in circles
And you run after it too fast
When ideas pop up
tirelessly
And you can’t even follow them
no more
When new poems, new songs hum
around like butterflies
But you can’t catch them yet
When your fingers on the strings
Can’t keep up
with your voice
When there is so much to do
But you don’t know
where to start
and where to go
When you feel time is pressuring
And you’re like a rat
in a race
Then we need to take
a deep breath
And we need to slow down
