Staring at the screen

Hoping for the answer

To jump out at me

As my eyes get tired

Staring at the stars

Dreaming of the future

And lamenting the passing

Of lost ones

Staring at the sea

The vastness ahead

Full of possibility

Of places yet to be discovered

Staring at the text

Trying to determine

What the writers motives were

And how to critique the argument

Staring at the children

Playing with abandon

Growing every day

Discovering the joy of life

Staring at the patient

Lying in the bed

Unaware of where they are

Or who you might be

Staring at the job ads

Wondering if this one

Is the one

To give security and purpose

Staring at the church

With bewilderment

At the purpose of the ritual

Going on inside

Staring at the garden

Wondering at what creator

Could have designed

So intricate a world

Staring, staring, staring
