With Every Glance At The World Around Us Poem by Gert Strydom

With every glance at the world around us,
on nature, on the humanity of other people
our existence is enriched,

it is with new eyes that we look upon our world
experiencing the colours, odours en and touch of the wind,
where a smile cut to the dephts of the heart

and sometimes we still feel steam-rolled away,
aching into the heart and soul
as if our lives are decaying
and things seems totally out of control

until something lets us deviate from our normal way of live,
when we walk into another world.
