Awe and wonder, wonder and awe.
In the freedom of distraction.
The child’s pure joy
feeling the earth with their feet.
The expansion of horizons.
The grandness of the world.
And no need for the need to compete.
Sitting in one’s space. In one’s body.
In that place - as a watcher,
(cleared perspective from inside)
behind the eyes.
As the watcher. In their watching.
Who sees the choice in life’s paradox.
They choose to place their truth,
in the place of one’s lies.

Neighbour
Urban secret agent
Peeking across the street
Watching comings and goings
Cannot be seen
A witness when necessary
Gossip collator
Secrets lover
Searching for mysteries
Alert to change
Counsellor for all
Watching out for all.

Watchers
Artificial eyes
See all
Trusted
Secure
Or so they say
Nothing secret
Data streamed
At the other end
Watched by strangers
Tagged, dated and filed
Privacy short sighted.

Mirror
Reflections in glass
Lifeless eyes stare back
Who is this doppelganger?
Two dimensional stranger
Am I an image
Exiled in this mirror
Peering back into reality
Fragments of perfect imperfection
Other peoples' lives
Just a mute watcher.

Why can't I do the same
There is her,
having all the fun she could.
And then there is me,
wondering why can't I do the same.

The Nights Watch
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.8 0

The Watcher
When I look at myself in the mirror I see you there.
Watching from an unknown place where the light does not lay
Its warmth upon, but it is as hot and as bright as the sun.
Where calmness lives and entropy withers away.
Past right and wrong, past earth and sea, there you are.
Watching this body age into it's perfection, into decay.
This world is timed, but you are unbound to these obstructions.
You take nothing, but when in passing you leave everything.
Why do you hide when you can come out and play.
Join me in my devious ways.
Together we can conquer this reality.

Hidden behind dirty dark hair,
He hid a clarity
That stripped the the world
Of its fairy lights.
