Amazement
I am sitting still
and you walked by,
eyes glazed over
head held high
My eyes caught yours
but yours, never mine
as you strolled on by
marking your own time
How would it feel?
to get a chance to see
the world
through the
eyes of another being?
Would I see beauty,
only you alone have seen
Or
would I corrupt
your memories to suit just me
Would the journey be,
painful or sweet
beautiful or meek
comfort you seek?
Was your life hard
and made you weak,
or is it freedom
you now seek,
that shields your
eyes so unique
It makes me wonder,
Oh, how I wonder –
How would it feel,
to see the world
through the
eyes of another
How far would I go
based on,
what you’ve seen
and what you know –
Stories suspended
secrets securely detained,
shadows the memories
you hold within
That vacant look
Occupies your eyes,
Shield your silent cries
As your life, slips on by
So I sit still
and ponder
Oh yes! I do wonder
How it would feel
to view the world
through the eyes of another
