BEHIND GREEN EYES
The world is so puzzling to me as I think about,
I see many things on my daily trek around this land.
As the holidays are upon us there is much hustle and bustle,
People moving faster, too much of a rush as they burden themselves.
I watch the cars as they forget to stop at the crosswalks, racing,
I see the joyful faces and sadness that wanders from here too there,
The weather changes with a new season and I behind green eyes see it.
Everything appears before me, the morning light, a Winter night sky,
Walking downtown among the colorful lights, a fast pace and searching eyes,
Behind green eyes there appear many coming Christmas sights.
