I look outside the door there's so much to see,
to feel, but I don't, I'm so lost in me
I ride my bike but I really don't, thinking
of something else, I ride, but not on the road
there are so many stories that needs an ear
many running behind me, I walk past them
indifferently, problems that aren't mine
don't worry me, information overload
everywhere I see, unprocessed most of it
dumped all in back of my brains, goes on
my life and me. I look outside the door
there's so much to see, but someone came
this time, and knocked so hard on my head
whispered- you ain't dead, not yet
laugh a little, make someone too
there's much to see, so much to do
see outside everyday to reassure
see outside everyday to reassure
your heart beats, and till it does
let it not beat for a single purpose..
Look at
everything. Don’t close your eyes to the world around you. Look and become
curious and interested in what there is to see.
~ John Cage

Jyoti, you always put the best stuff together!
ReplyDeleteI used to volunteer at a retirement home, and often visited with a woman named Francis. She was in her late 90's and almost completely alone. She was from Switzerland, and had the cutest accent. She would always point things out that I would never see. She'd say, "look! Just look. If you don't, see what you're missing?'
That's what your poem made me think of here. :)
Yeah, we do that. We just ignore most of the things around us.
