What happens when I just sit and think...

Observation
Words...
Sounds...
Footsteps...
Do you ever sit
and think
and let the world go by around you?
Voices,
People,
Lives playing out on the stage before you,
As you observe, touched and untouched by their drama...
Then,
A smile,
A brief moment of contact,
And you are no longer alone...
You have become part of the scene,
A character in the play,
No longer an island...
Words have meaning once more,
And you rejoin Life...
A participant,
An Observer no more...
