Carey Clayton — Slowing down

We always talk about horticulture What your growing in your garden feeling better that you stepped outside for air Planting seeds for the coming seasons Hope for good weather Setting roots to stay grounded Let the pace sink in You saw a redtail The other day How it soared With a fresh kill in its claws Picked from the mountainside Tell me how your body’s sore But you’re using it right Found a way to structure your days Simple routines, dishes and chores You know Ive thought a lot about the life we led While I’m proud of the storiеs we tell I feel more, slowing down Black light partiеs and nervous energy Had their time While I’m proud of the stories we tell I feel more, slowing down I feel more, slowing down I feel more, slowing down
