Watching

A few thoughts

I heard Dylan

For the first time today

At the age of 32

What have I been doing?

Has anyone got a clue?

 

I see the sun shine through

The towers of neon lights

What does it all mean?

I think I have lost the plot

 

Cause today

I am not working

Sun drenched

In the shade

Watching Movies

Pretending to be Charades

 

I saw her smile today

At the age of 45

Can anyone tell me?

Am I really alive?

 

I saw a film once 

On a million foot high sky

What does it all mean?

I think I have done a lot.

 

I saw myself today

At the age of 99

Could anyone tell me

Where did I lose my spine?

 

Cause today

I am not working

Sun drenched

In the shade

Watching words

Coming alive in the rain

 

I knew a boy once

With dreams as big as the sky

What does it all mean?

And where did he go?

 

Once somebody told me 

There would be answers

Where 'x' marked the spot

But today I am not working

And can't see

So, I guess it is time to go.

Very Interesting way to bring out the pictures of man growing... trying find meanings from life. And in this process withering and passing along questions to the future to answer. Well written :)
