The Things Nobody Else Sees






The things nobody else sees
The things I see alone

The lovely grace in my grove of trees
An ancient bovine's crumbling bones
These are a few things I see alone




An mammal is breathing I N and O UT
It's breathing.
Don't you get it?

No, you don't.
You've never seen.

An insect is moving, creeping, crawling
It's moving. 
Don't you get it?

No, you don't.
You've never seen.



You may have looked,
A fleeting glance granted
But you've never seen,
You just looked and were unenchanted
Looked and kept on walking



Have you ever seen?
Are you another who comprehends?
How often I've imagined you,
Imagined being what they call friends

But maybe it's just me....

Seeing the things nobody else sees.

  1. James Herriot saw those things, Becca. You are not the only one. Just ... maybe the only one left alive DX.
