View On Black

 

I wonder about the thoughts, the songs

which are running through the minds

of the people I'm passing by

Each person connecting the lyrics

with different memories, feelings

A lover, nostalgia, inner secrets

Reading each person like an open book

Wishing I could soak every word in,

but the pages consist of hidden meanings

The truth is,

What's visible is only the cover

The books of their lives are bound so tight

Their souls are wasting away

like dust-covered books on the back shelf

I wish to know each page inside and out

Memorize the words,

decipher the meaning behind the text

Each person has a uniquely beautiful story

Not enough of our thoughts are shared with others

More love would exist in this world

if we let ourselves become more connected

Look into the eyes

of the passerby

Ignore the daily monotony

See what lies behind the tired eyes

Share the music between your souls

Let the notes surround you out loud

Resonating to the beat of your hearts
