Observer

Too many words to say
And not enough space.
Too many words to say,
and to say them would be
too much.
See from this perspective,
as we're told in class,
examine our own,
look at the world,
try on new eyes.
No one way to see,
the damage and tragedy,
the compassion and beauty.
Through the camera's lens,
through the automated voice,
through the voices lost,
through the silence,
and through the noise.
Natural settings
and laboratories.
Experiments and
anonymous questionaires.
Infinite questions.
Desperate to see,
to see,
to know,
to understand.
Investigating,
for answers
that may not come
on this Earth.
