Eccentricity and Me

People that are different,
Fascinate me,
I find charm in eccentricity.
Eccentrics seem oblivious,
To others around,
Are they ambiguous?
Or are their minds sound.

Perhaps their way of thinking,
Is their saving grace,
Do they find the world,
Goes at too fast a pass
For the eccentric,
And he and she,
Are searching for a place,
To live in harmony.
