Click hereJust 'being' - looking,
seeing within and without
and ever around.
Still-life moments:
of tears... dripping;
the tympany sound
of lives rushing by;
shy, quiet hello's -
reaching for what
they really don't know.
Questions - asked
only to disregard the answers,
'cause they don't fit
the little slots within.
So many - people there are -
leaving what they never knew
...behind - for what
they'll never see,
and won't touch.
Here the background music
swells with soft grace
and flow and spirits flying,
an awesome counterpoint
to the quiet desperation
of looking - ever looking -
to another side.
