Foggy Vs Clear

Looks certainly have deceived me! Without trying, you are who you are Without doubt A faint star only because of your place In our place Lands you so very far Only because of distance But You are a star shining so brightly Maybe even brighter than the rest But Our eyes tell us You are so small I may perceive a human to be the length of my fingernail As I stand upon some rooftop But If I were to stand side by side with this human I WILL Realize truth! My eyes have deceived me I get a closer look - or might I say I place each object side by side and witness truth Yet This is still open for interpretation Because Until I can place every single thing In the same exact space And Observe every detail Who am I to even ASSUME The truth? This object has its own interpretation As we do as well Until things appear the same From afar Or Under our noses There will be no total understanding Of the truth I see you star You are who you are Without doubt And I learn from you You have the appeal so very appealing to me I learn from you As I have learned my eyes have deceived me You inspire me Not to mold into what I perceive others perceive me as But To only be me Because This foolish chase is an endless race And I end this by first accepting me

When you love yourself you can then truly love others... from soul-searching to self-affirmation. BRAVO, Brittany! Best wishes, Keith
