Simple Pleasures

Did I forget?
Did I experience too much
That I couldn't see?

Emptiness.

I watch the love of simple things,
But they are out of reach.

I took a tag of them or two,
But they vanish in my hands
If ever they make it to me.

I cherish and understand;
I rush, and its undefined.

These simple pleasures...
Am I too high?

Of massive things,
I forgot life?

I watch the people walk and talk,
They smile at miniscule dailies;
But here I am,
On high floors,
Watching,
Feeling nothing.
