Time is not the enemy Perception is the great limitor Reducing emotion to equation Forcing square pegs into round holes Sight is not 20/20 Seeing with blindness inside Limited by concepts embraced Taught by rigid-minded souls You cannot see what you don't feel You cannot feel what you don't know You cannot know what you ignore You cannot see when you are blind Milky opaqueness covers your eyes You see through tunneled vision Narrowing down to black and white With no variations Don't push me into your peg I don't fit your narrow guides Don't see me as black and white I am the rainbow -- can you see me?

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO! This is one of the most excellent poems I have read in a long time! Nicely written, message clear. Truth shines through in this piece, not only from a personal standpoint of one desiring to "be seen" but also, from the spiritual aspects of the human being not being capable of always seeing the full scope of the diving plan. I really liked this one alot... I don't know if I read too much into in regards to your intent with this piece, but that is what it spoke to me! |

First off welcome back and secondly...this was TERRIFIC from beginning to end but that doesn't surprise me at all. I don't know if another human is capable of seeing all the color in another as we seem to never truely find it in ourselves completely. This one is most definitely going into my library so that the next time I need a boost....I HAVE IT. |

Wonderfully written. It takes a strong person to see sometimes. Wonderfully done, I enjoyed it a lot. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |
