As I Sit Poem by Darren Tyler Howard

As I sit
I Listen...
I listen to a musical recital of a dear friend.
While listening,

I Realize...
I realize the talent that he possesses,
but also
I realize how different his mind is.
While realizing,

I Understand...
I understand that he can see beauty that others cannot
I understand that he sounds out the music that he lives his life to.
While understanding,

I Appreciate...
I appreciate his passion and creation
I appreciate that his world is far different than my own
But Worlds can be expressed by passions.
While appreciating,

I Smile...
I smile as I am invigorated by the world he expresses
I smile, captivated by the collision of his world and my own.
As I smile,

I WRITE....
