‘Observer’

In a careless whisper

In the ticking of a clock

In the fastest heartbeat

In the wind’s blow

 

There is something magnificent

If you listen carefully

Life begins to make sense

There’s more color to it

 

In a random observation

Of the world outside

In the falling of the leaves

In a graceful dance of a cat

 

I notice something

And wonder if it is insanity

I notice myself

What a strange magic

 

In the feel of snowflakes

Falling onto my cheeks

In the touch of cushion

Early in the morning

 

I can sense your presence

Barely recognizable

Something you cannot feel

If you don’t reach for inexplicable

 

In the taste of aromatic coffee

Before a hard day

In the piece of chocolate

Melting on my lips

 

There comes experience

Of yet another sense

How wonderful world could prove

If you pay attention to every detail and little piece

‘The world’s loneliness’

How can we be so lonely

In the arms of the world?

How can we shout for attention

And be left unheard?

How can we hold somebody so tenderly

And be pushed away?

How can we be such sensitive souls

In the army of tough soldiers?

How can we all be alone

If all we need is a friend?

The world is so cold, sad and empty

When there’s no one to share.

If only we could be both strong and delicate

And with a song attract the sincere one left.
