Most things
Ya don’t wanna see ’em as they are
Ya gotta see ’em why they are
Ya can always find the beauty in that

All Details Great and Small
Pristine
Meticulous order
Black chairs on black tables
White chairs on white tables
Perfectly placed
Deliciously spaced
Meticulous order
Black chairs on black tables
White chairs on white tables
Perfectly placed
Deliciously spaced
Every detail attended to
Clean lines and sturdy grace
All reflected in polished stone
But later
I notice
A chair is missing
Crumbs scattered on a table
In a lifetime dedicated
To observing the nuances
Of all details great and small
I wonder
What is the larger world
All that I’ve seen?
Or all that I’ve seen
But never saw…
Suddenly
The world I know
Seems very small
Illusions ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #213
Sometimes the darkness
Is less a lack of light
Than a quality of seeing
Is less a lack of light
Than a quality of seeing
Gravity
I see you
Seeing me
As she sees me
And he sees someone
No one else sees
Seeing me
As she sees me
And he sees someone
No one else sees
And I wonder
What you wonder
About what I wonder
While he wonders
About whom I wonder
All this seeing
And not seeing
All this wondering
About wondering
It all turns
Upon its tail
While all along
The water falls
With a noisy whoosh
The flow always down
Gravity draws all to Earth
Still we are always free
In our myriad ways
To see what we will see
All the while wondering
Just what is up
Bent
This world through lens of mind
Is bent
To be a thing my eyes
Can see
Not quite what is
Reality
Is bent
To be a thing my eyes
Can see
Not quite what is
Reality
So bend my mind to fit
The world
Then see only the things
That fit
Ignore the things that don’t
One bit
Seeing the True Nature of Darkness
Sometimes the light
Makes the eerie
Eerier
Makes the darkness
Darker
Makes the eerie
Eerier
Makes the darkness
Darker
I remind myself
It’s better to see
Things as they are
To see the dark
In the darkness
Blur and Shadow
Sometimes the world seems
Populated by blurs and shadows
Even I am not entirely solid
Populated by blurs and shadows
Even I am not entirely solid
I often wonder, then
Am I the blur?
Am I the shadow?
In all those other eyes
I can barely see
Eye
Eye check my ego
Eye check my arrogance
Eye check my arrogance
Eye look in the mirror
Remind myself to look away
So eye can see the me who is
Rather than the me who is seen
Eye reflect on my deeds, on my actions
Measure them against my ideals, my beliefs
I is a thing
Which cannot see
Beyond the shell
Which houses I
Peering Back
I observe the world
People, structures, nature
Though people most of all
People, structures, nature
Though people most of all
I peer into their world
Try to understand what they see
How they see it
It helps me see
The nuance in my own world
In my own perception
Every now and again
I notice people
Peering back at me
A moment most illuminating
As it reminds me
Look at yourself, through their eyes
And so, I wonder
What do they see?
How do they see me?
Ghosts ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #92
I carry a haul of ghosts
Along the paths I travel
Some recorded, for all time
And others a shadow memory
Along the paths I travel
Some recorded, for all time
And others a shadow memory
Each a fleeting moment
Seen in the context
Of another realm
And none too clearly
What they are
Where they are
Who they are
Preconceptions projected
Upon an object
Obscuring the features
Of the object
