Quiet
Quiet
Let me take a minute
Look into your eyes
passing by me
Oh so often
Oh so quietly
Oh so beautiful in this everlasting evening
The hours past
And the wa wa wa
Of the television
Of the world around me in this loving warm cocoon
Has dulled
Has died
Has left me all alone
Quiet
Quiet
Stop and take a minute
Look into my eyes
walking by me
Always thinking
Always moving
Always in full swing of your perpetual playing
Your fingers tap
And the clack clack clack
From your room
From the challenge you've left in ruin
Is easing
Is slowing
Is leaving you behind
Quiet
Quiet
Let me take a minute
Look into your eyes
Have they faded long away
Big and round
And vacantly staring straight?
Our minds are empty, yet brimming over
Paying mind to the small
The ordinary
The suddenly riveting
Has taken over
Has quietly called
Has grabbed my full attention
Quiet
Quiet
Stop and take a minute
Look into my eyes

passing by me
Oh so often
Oh so quietly
Oh so beautiful in this everlasting evening
The hours past
And the wa wa wa
Of the television
Of the world around me in this loving warm cocoon
LOVE THAT.
I can picture it.
perfectly.
Has dulled
Has died
Has left me all alone
I understand.
Your fingers tap
And the clack clack clack
From your room
From the challenge you've left in ruin
Is easing
Is slowing
Is leaving you behind
Isn't it always?
Our minds are empty, yet brimming over
Paying mind to the small
The ordinary
The suddenly riveting
Has taken over
Has quietly called
Has grabbed my full attention
love the flow and rhythm
i wish it had ended there, but I really do like this. THANK you. and goodluc
