I´m a loner

on the desert

of life

Surrounded by millions

I hear the silence

inside the noise

of my life.

Watching from the side

as humans and animals

pass side by side

almost undistinguishable

in their actions

and thoughts.

Sometimes I yearn

to join the rush

experience the blood

running through my veins

and over my hands

But as always

I don´t -

to watch is

so very much saner.

So very much safer.
