As I Watch

I sit here and I watch I watch as if I had a sharp eye like a Crow The cold, brisk air pushes against me as I write There's boys on the basketball court Boys on the football field, girls chatting, two coaches painting I'm in another world At least that's what it feels like Society, so much to do, so much to see I sit and think, is this how it's meant to be As I write, I just watch and.... watch There's a lady cutting grass I even see some kids just arriving to school The sun has came out now Beautiful, and as bright as can be Peace and calmness is what I'm feeling I'm also feeling like I'm alone I'm in another world I sit and watch As I write, I can feel the numbness in my leg But, I still sit and watch I have joy and peace within myself Of course I do, I'm smiling Smiling at everything that surrounds me There's a plane flying, cars on the highway, kids playing You would think it's very loud and noisy But,it's not, there's silence. There's silence within me. I watch as if I had a sharp eye like a Crow God's beautiful creations and nature That's what I see They're staring at me right in the face They're waiting on me to explore.
