O knihe

Observation Deck

Standing on this deck I look down and observe.

This deck is high above the lives of my friends

At times I feel higher than all human kind

I stand alone humbled in this crowd

As the crowd separates Between the entertainers

And the loners

I stand back and observe.

Perched above on this lonely deck, I wonder if I learn more from this distance

Separation, separating myself from the world

"They" all learn from their mistakes.

From me they take and take

I observe like I'm on a deck.

From above looking down.

I so want to look up instead of down

Even if I have to jump off this deck

Position my arms close to my eyes and just dive

Dive into the rest of the world

All it's insecurity

By now I should have learned my way around

Or like Grenouille

learned my smell around

By now I should be able to stand on my own cloud

Pour myself out and share with the crowd.

This collection of dark, brooding poetry explores poet Joseph Saunders's journey from boy to man over the course of a decade. Love, betrayal, beauty, and danger combine in an eclectic mix of words and emotions that compel you to delve into your soul.
