Again with the thinking
Watching words
(Trying not to waste them)
Watching folk
(Trying not to hate them)
Watching sounds
(What is that crunching?)
Watching weather
(Always something)
Watching winds work
(No pretending)
Watching watchers
(Breaking, mending)
Watching silence
(Slow and steady)
Watching, learning
(Ever ready)
