I sit at my window seal
Watching the raindrops fall
As people go by
All in a rush
Work, appointments, job searches
Responsibilities, children, lovers
Rushing emotions through their bodies
They are all millions of miles away
But nowhere near the place they should be
The simplest of accusations
May spin their mind so
Till headaches distinguish their thoughts
The way pills no longer employ

Have they forgotten how to fly?
To stand still and look out into the world
To enjoy the smell of summer after a storm
To wear warm laundry in the winter
To see the leaves change color in the fall
To see life rebirth itself in spring
And to reach up to the countless stars
While our imagination would let us touch them
Not in the way we touch our keyboards every day
But in the special way that we touch once in a lifetime
The way our souls intertwine with the Universe
And the stars join us in our infinite journey
Not as individuals but as drops in our gigantic ocean
Pulling us in to clasp each other's hands
And be a part of the circle of life
