so smile

in a gaze
in a medley
synchronised beating
your reflection on the car windows
train windows
plane windows
blending with the journey of your travels
your scent
embedded into the seats
taking in breath
sustenance
through your surroundings
take it all in
smooth against your skin
draw it out
remember what you'll remember
don't try too hard
look
further
closer
we are not looking for ourselves
each sensory receptor
ticking moment
painting picture
passing fragrant
salty tear
skin distortion
silky grass blade
cold wind
synchronised beating
unspoken word
fleeting thought
cold pressed juice
in your hand
down your throat
what were you thinking then
laughing with your friends
sitting on the rough gravel
looking into the lake
picking away at the strands of hair that flew into your face
harsh winds
fleeting  gaze at the boy that walked by
what impression did he leave
did you leave
close your eyes
you're not looking for yourself
let others busy themselves
in the pursuit of the destination or journey that will lead them to enlightenment
while we understand that in each moment we are breathing
we are alive and living
thinking and being
piecing together a collage
that is our life
