Water Only Boils When You Watch It

The dust never really settles.

Another gust of wind  always comes

To  sets the dust back into motion.

Visibility is diminished

One may feel they are going blind.

This too is said  of  war and peace.

Then again it may be just idle rumour.

There is so much gossip these days.

Who is to say.

At the very moment the much anticipated

Moment it was supposed to settle,

Another gust of wind  sets the dust

Back into motion.

Visibility is diminished. One may think they are going blind.

It is just the dust rising up again, one more time.

There was no way of knowing this.

You had to be be there so to speak.

This too is said of peace.

I was eavesdropping at the time.

I was listening at the door.

We where not meant to know this.

Then again it may be just idle rumour.

Water boils eventually, even if you watch it.
