the people,
do they gather
to conquer fear
or fate?

not for me
to say.

forgive me
i intrude,
but i see
that you,
yes you,
you’re happy

do you feel?

you’re smiling,
i think
i’ll ask
you smile
for me.

if you won’t
i’ll go away,
it’s what
i do for you,
and for me,
the endless
sea of us.

i’d like to touch
you all
just as,
for a moment,
you touched me

with your grace.

that’s enough,
that’s enough

each shifting
moment
is enough
for me

to smile for you.
