Seeing With New Eyes

The sun comes up and it’s time to go The more I learn the less I know The sky is so blue and in the middle is the moon It seems as if the sun has made some room. I find it strange to see the moon in the light When I think of the moon it’s shining bright at night Maybe the day and the night have become one I open my eyes wide to view what is to come. The day seems special yet like any other Things I saw before I seem to rediscover They are different yet quite the same Just another day, Wednesday by name. I get in my car for I have to go to the city The visual outside my window is so pretty The colors are so vivid they cry out we’re alive I seem to find peace on this very long drive… I pick up my friend and we start our trip back I see all that I have and not what I lack We talk of life and how the world is changing Though it seems quite the same just a little rearranging. I arrive at home it’s been a long day All of the pieces just fit today Everything around me joined together I floated through much like a feather.
