    Something Is Different

     Something is different
    This time around
    I'm not sure I comprehend the change
    that must have been made
    But if it's true, spring has never seemed so beautiful

    These sights, these sounds are new
    The people cutting through my vision
    forming a new dimension
    as the wind manipulates the falling pedals
    Dancing first with, then against
    breaking into pirouettes
    Each performing its proper show
    until settled to the ground to retire

    Why do I sit and admire?
    Dislocated from this picture
    Watching such a scene carry on
    and noticing the people I'd like to meet
    But never will
    A life lived in stand still

    Well done! My guess is you've happened upon a new perspective. My comment on that is: What good is a gift if you don't take out of the box? : )

    That is a great comment indeed. I tend to be a bit of a wallflower, so sometimes I find myself needing to just take initiative. I need to learn to open the box sometimes and grab hold of the gift of life.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
