Look...
Little forts
security
and we sprint from place to place
with no concern for the in between
always moving to the comfort
never facing the pain
As human as can be allowed
as false as can be tolerated
I sink every time I feel their eyes
we'll all die if we're not careful, unless we
Look up
Don't slam the door
Enjoy the silence after the car engine turns off
Find a dark spot in the park
and
look up
in the leaves it says
sight is weak, perception is strong
the questions are outside
and the answers are within
please
just
look
up.

that's beautiful! i'm guessing the leaves is a reference to a certain house.
That's very kind, thank you.
The leaves reference is from the 'Hagakure' or 'falling leaves', more commonly known as the book of the samurai, written about seven hundred years ago I think. Very good book.
Very good.
I especially enjoy the part about not slamming the door, and enjoying the silence after the car turns off. It does have an oriental feel to it.
Logan.
