slower is not a word everyone admires

i suppose age and time unearth it’s beauty and desire

but a walk through the woods with a deliberate and hasty stride

reveals rather quickly how much is missed along the way

to be governed by a spectacle one has taken the time to see

affords one a view of life so many rarely see

but i will linger along the way, slow some may call me

what i experience by my careful gait, continues to marvel me

slow is definitely the preferred way to go
