The Other Side of Life

By: Amy Olson

I’ve really always wondered

What it would be like

To see things from an angle;

The other side of life.

To see it all like no one else

To hear what others miss

The other side of a smile,

The fragrance of a kiss.

What silence really sounds like

How nothingness would taste

What someone’s really feeling

The meaning of true grace

The feeling of true wonder

The color of the sky.

To be looking at the world

From the other side of life.
