Sometimes, much more often then not
Our peripheral visions see more than a
Selfish soul will admit.

Now, selfish is not meant to be a smack attack.
Quite the opposite.
Some call it the real deal, reality, veracity or
Just plain life.

I call it vain.

Yes, yes I know that’s a little harsh but harsh
Tends to bring the taste out.
How do you know it won’t taste good if you
Lock up the Pie hole?

Just because the steam rises from the spring
Doesn’t make the water hot.
The cool air of night leisurely slipping behind
The dew may have given you an optical illusion.

Optical illusion.

Or could it be something simple like
A haze of doubt a flutter before
Only your eyes.

I can safely suggest a closer look to
The outside edge of things.
What you see head on is almost
Never As important as what

Stands beside you.

Wonderful!  Very deeply insightful.  

"Just because the steam rises from the spring
Doesn’t make the water hot."

We all need to think sometimes that things aren't always as *WE* percieve them.

Great Poem, my new friend!
