Critical Moments

Circles of confusion and a mirrored box Image decisive instants of living and dying, Entering and leaving the state of existence In movement and idleness Capturing the connection of all things... The closer to, the less seen, The further away, the bigger the picture Yet, there's always something hidden That answers the reasons why, shows new ways Of thought that suggests stones and studs Metal and glass from ground, trees, air and sun With flesh and bone of darker shades of white Lighter shades of black interrelating for undertones Of what's his, what's hers and everything is theirs On paper without words for the deaf through The unseen for the blind... the emotional by way Of what is felt reveals the greatest mysteries And implications of the objective and subjective Views join together for knowledge to understand The crucial for a better society on earth As the truth that is a lie etches in the memory And freezes in time culture by capturing Critical moments that connect all things in A mirrored box through circles of confusion To usher in indispensable periods of success
