Oh pretty stranger walking past me,
Do you see what I show you? Or do you see above and beyond?
You are you and I am I,
You see what I show you and I see what you show me.

You have seen nights I haven't. I have seen days you haven't.
The days of joys and sorrows,
We walk different paths but not alone.
Oh, pretty stranger, I wonder, how do you do?

Did you see me differently in the days of your struggles,
Or did I see you in a different light when my days were joyous?
Did you see the person I chose to portray,
Or did you see the person you chose to see?

We're the flowers in the field.
Someday we bloom, another day we gloom.
The unique pattern in your petals, the stark yet harmonious contrast with mine.
I wonder if you've seen them too...

Oh, pretty stranger walking past me,
Did you choose to see my smile or the displeasure on my face?
I see what you show, I accept it all.
Just like I follow my melody, do you follow yours?

The veil of soul
Niloo Jan 9
Stuck in a timeless loop,
With the tidal waves of blossoms,
Yet I fear—will it all come crumbling down?
The veil of uncertainty covers my soul.

Adorned by flowers and thorns,
Acceptance is what I seek, yet I fear the truth.
Though I embrace it with the fragrance of my trust,

I'm where I'm supposed to be, yet I don't belong here.
What my soul seeks is beyond reach, above all those things.
I walk with no destination; I let the rays guide me.

The path of uncertainty I walk, as I follow the light of my soul.
I feel my breath catch in the air, mingling with the fragrance of my own trust.

Was it the beginning, or was I never even here?
The grasp of fate is tighter than ever, yet I let my soul guide me through.

A destination meant to be mine, I follow with ease.
I follow it with my heart, yet as I walk through, adorned by the beauty of existence,
I feel my soul numb, yet somehow still breathing in the trust.

— The End —
