I want to train myself to be an observer keen
I do not want life to pass me by, unwitnessed, unseen
*
I want to observe the sun, the stars, the sky
I want to observe on a busy street every passerby
How my patients walk into the clinic, I want to observe
So that their health I can best serve
The nonverbal cues in a conversation
I do not want to miss in my observations
Just a silent observer I want to be
To understand in more depth the world around me
*
The dormant artistic streak in me
Begs me to observe more keenly
Inspiration from observation is derived
In a fast-paced world, to be a slow observer I strive
