I tiptoe around the world
like I'm afraid to wake it up,
to draw attention to the clicks
my shoes make
Silence does pervade
while I sit idle on the sidelines,
never close to the centre,
here it is safe
In the background I fade,
observant but cautious,
already weary of this life
and all its pains
But here is a new day;
flickering eyelids do perceive it;
as long as I'm here I'll muse
but not participate
I tiptoe around the world,
not only to leave it undisturbed,
but to keep my soul still full
with the smallest ray
