I see you!
Hanging there
defing gravity
making patterns in the sky
trails stitching clouds together
full with people exploring far off lands
visiting loved ones
fufilling dreams
I see the excitement on their faces
the anticipation in their hearts - I see you!
...but you don't see me
I see you!
Ploughing
there in your tractor
drawing straight furrows across the earth
turning the soil with your plough
for seeds to sow
I see the seagulls following you
flying high above you as you work the land
searching for a meal - I see you!
...but you don't see me
I see you!
Tracing a line across the water
your tiny boat on giant seas
the ropes you work
your nets to catch the fish
your bright yellow waterproofs keeping you warm and dry
I see the relentless toil
written across your face
the hopes and dreams in the lines across your 'work worn' hands - I see you!
...but you don't see me
I see you
all of you
from high upon a hill-top road
snug inside my car
speeding to where I need to be
doing what I need to do
I see you
I see you all
going to where you need to go
doing what you need to do - I see you!
...but you don't see me
