In Holland V

In Holland V, I sit

I sit as I watched people's life go by

I sit as I waited for time to fly

And realised the beauty of this silence

Amidst this bustling serenity

In Holland V, people come

And people go to places they want to be

A warm comforting dinner

Or enjoying their friends' company

Or perhaps, going to an escape from reality

In Holland V, people smile

And people frown as many things happened to them

In the midst of the crowd, a couple was happily kissing

While a woman panicked to find her wallet missing

And a dog was barking, in the middle of all these mayhem

In Holland V, I sit

As an old man came to sit beside me

Staring at the blank space in front of him

His face wasn't sad, it was not happy

It just showed the pure joy of silence within him

In Holland V, I smiled

As I watched people's life go by

People may think I'm weird and crazy

But they didn't know, and they never know

The pure bliss of enjoying the silence within them
