what we tend to, grows . what we ignore also grows . just differently
we often mistake . someone watching as someone . paying attention
as choices are made . we see our future written . in a smoke filled sky
in the daily grind . it is easy to forget . life should be a dance
you can always tell . when someone has seen too much . it is in their eyes
decisions get made . and they are always followed . by consequences
a stranger arrives . and just as quickly departs . same as time passing
the time in between . the start and destination . is where life happens
focused on its task . the bee cannot be bothered . with the world’s problems
opportunity . is often not obvious . thus easily missed
