Watching all the magic
I am not above or beyond
A simple observer
Placing hands over hearts
“so help them, they are so misunderstood”
I watch lights flicker
I watch children laugh and run
I watch the day turn to night
Even as the cold comes
They find shelter
They found one another
Covered in shade; from the towering buildings
We watch, we’re humbled by the magnificence
Of being simple and profound
Of learning despite out stubbornness
“we watched the street lights turn on one by one
As the sun sank, so did my fears.”
