I Walk
I walk amidst all these people
Contemplating in thought I stare
I walk entranced, my mind so rapt
As if I were not even there
Across crowds of so many
Of all colors, of all faces
The Western, the Eastern
Personalities in all races
I see the thin and fat
I see the short and tall
In shapes and sizes
Beauty varies in all
Some stroll with smiles
Of the old and blue
Others in peevish laughter
Of youth and hue
Dressed in diverse styles,
Some dim, some flare
I walk by women in beauty veiled
And others that walk half-bare
In some I see despair
In others I find insight
Some, I just walk by
With not much visible to sight
I walk amidst all these people
Each one to life a strand
I walk in thought, in masses
And I simply don’t understand
