Companion

I sit alone and watch,
the desperate moves,
my mind makes
to fill the silence.

Thoughts come and go
with a rapidity
that leaves one
gasping for breath


for that two minutes of fame
we race against time
pushing our way
through the crowds

Slow down
and listen to
the quietness
beyond the chatter

It is your companion
the only constant
that has always
been with you.
