Watching and Wondering

By underthebelljar

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Watching the people parade In a great motley mass Strange faces slipping In and out of my focus My contemplative gaze Pondering as they pass What shapes their lives Their days I can't help, but wonder Do they know the way? If so, did they stumble Across the hidden path By way of misguided foot Or did they have to dig Claw deeper into the soot So, I watch per chance To discover The way without strife The endless road That leads Down to the meaning of life Written November 1st, 2001 © on Nov 01 2001 01:41 PM PST   0 • 10
