  Slow for the sake of flowers as they turn
       Toward sunlight, graceful as a line of sail
              Coming into the wind. Slow for the mill-
Wheel's heft and plummet, for the chug and churn
       Of water as it gathers, for the frail
              Half-life of spraylets as they toss and spill.

For all that lags and eases, all that shows
       The winding-downward and diminished scale
              Of days declining to a twilit chill,
Breathe quietly, release into repose:
                            Be still.
