The Pepperman Meets the Collector of Thoughts

MILLIONS OF WINDOWS AND MILLIONS OF DOORS. 
NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY CEILINGS OR FLOOR. 
I OPENED A DOOR TO WORLD UNKNOWN. 
A GENTLE VOICE SOFTLY WELCOMED ME HOME. 
AS A COLLECTOR OF THOUGHTS I CREATED SOME VIEWS. 
SOMETHING SPECIAL BETWEEN ME AND YOU. 
SOME ARE CLOSE MANY ARE FAR, 
BUT NEVER CLOSER OR WITHIN A YARD. 
I OPENED MY MOUTH TO SHARE A WORD. 
THEN I WAS SHOCKED WITH WHAT I HEARD. 
PLEASE I ASK DON'T INTRUDE.
THAT IS CONSIDERED EXTREMELY TOO RUDE. 
I AM A LONER, YET I FEEL FREE, 
WHEN CREATURES AND BEINGS ARE SURROUNDING ME. 
IN THE MIX OF IT ALL. I FIND MANY A TREASURES. 
LIKE THE SMALL HUMMINGBIRD, WHO IS SIMPLY A PLEASURE. 
AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S A BIRDS EYE VIEW, 
OF ALL OF US INCLUDING YOU. 
IT CREATES A BUZZ LIKE ELECTRICITY 
WE ARE ALL CONNECTED BUT INDEPENDENTLY. 
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THIS IS BIZARRE. 
I OPENED A DOOR THAT WENT A LITTLE TOO FAR.
