Where it eases the hands of the clock

And widens the eyes

Slowly, slowly[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”847″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]It eases the sun into the sky

Paints a beautiful canvas

The flowers bloom their first breath

The waves sing and dance, then draw back

Slowly, slowly[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”844″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]It sketches the pathway before your eyes

And paints it ‘morning sun’

The wind seldom howls, but learns how to sing

And whistles its way through its instruments, the trees

Drop their autumn leaves which fall, gracefully to your feet

Imitating the way in which,

Everything falls into place,

When you’re happy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”846″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Happiness will come, slowing down time, and moving the world around you

Happiness will come.

Slowly,

Slowly.
