Urban Ghosts – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Rushing through life, we become like ghosts

Lost in the urban subways of humanity

Blaring past each other, unaware

Of the beauty that might surrounds us

The speed of life is a relentless force

Dragging us along, whether we want to go or not

We forget to stop and see what’s in front of us

To take that breath to appreciate the moment

The world passes us by in a blur

As we chase after our dreams and desires

But occasionally, in the midst of the chaos

We remember to slow down and admire

The beauty that lives in the simple things

The colours of the sunset, the smile of a child

The sound of the birds, the rustling of leaves

These are the moments that make life worthwhile

And practice against becoming ghosts in the urban subways

Open your eyes, focus, and take it all in

Because the speed of life will continue to rush on

But we can choose to slow down and truly live.
