The weather's changed
in the mad swirl of pre-winter days,
warming to the faces
as people head to places,
destinations unknown
And i watch the tide,
trying to be polite and not to stare
as people scurry past me,
involved within their own lives
not noticing the parade
So many frowns
and scowls with down turned lips
Not feeling the warm sunshine,
just considering this downtime
until they arrive at who knows where
Do you see life,
see the world in wonder and in light?
Or do you see the shadows,
never see the sparrows
that sing softly from the trees?
And i, too, have seen the world,
in shades of broken black and blue
but i still look with longing
wondering when will a song bring
a smile back to my face
Without a trace of sadness that i feel
all too often these past days
i wake and think of the race
and have to pace myself
to find what's left inside me...
