Someone, Somewhere

Somewhere far away

Someone is crying

Or laughing

Or sleeping

Someone

Somewhere

Has just closed their eyes

For the very last time

A person just cracked their phone

Or saved their child from an oncoming car

Or didn\'t

Not in time

It\'s very easy to feel lost

A single heartbeat

Among millions

Stopping and starting as seconds pass

Someone has just died

While giving birth

A life making way for another

The cry of a newborn replacing that of a parent

But here you are

And here I am

You, reading

Me, writing

Someone

Somewhere

Did something that will never affect you

Or might

This moment is yours

And yours alone

Cherish it

The clock will never stop
