Gazing out my window, looking down four stories
Glaring upon your seemingly small figure
huddled up in your winter coat, sitting at the fountain
You pull out your drawing book with one hand
pencil and eraser in the other
Still hunched over, you begin to draw
The image of you just sitting there, drawing
touches my heart profoundly
Maybe its the view i am getting from up here
Maybe its the grey skies
Or the flowing waters of the beautiful fountain
Or just the still, determined figurine i see before me
It could be that i want to know wat's in your world,
Maybe i envy your escape from loneliness and this sad world
Your calmness, gentle strokes and dire concentration
move my once stony heart
In this, I find myself seeing the vivid similarity of us
when the longing strikes,
i want to reach out to you
Let you know I am lonely too
Tell you what a stranger I am to myself sometimes
Until, like you, I spill out art onto a blank page
Yours speaks to people just as mine touches souls
One thing remains though
From way up here,
I am alone
and all the way down there
You are alone.
