YOU THERE

You there In the empty room That’s filled with people What do you see? You there In the bustling room That is empty What do you see? You there Peering through the mirror That is a window What do you see? You there Looking out of a window That is a mirror What do you see? You there Gazing at the sky Longing for something -I wonder- What do you see? You there Staring at the clock That is broken What do you see? You there Watching seconds Then minuets slip away What do you see? You there Shuffling through years -Did you lose a memory- What do you see? You there blowing out Birthday candles That are no longer wished on What do you see? You there unwrapping gifts That are still surprises What do you see? You there Laughing at the world That is sad What do you see? You there Crying for a laughing world That is silly What do you see? You there Lost in a small world That is huge What do you see? You there Believing In things you can’t see What do you see? You there Lying -Are you hiding from me- What do you see? You there With the secret That very few know What do you see? You there With the silent face That loves to tell tales What do you see YOU THERE YES YOU Let me borrow your shoes And walk a mile With a story For each step of the way Let me look through your eyes And paint a picture For I want A different colored sky You there Reflecting in the water And changing with the ripples What do you see?
