Perhaps, Just Perhaps
Perhaps… one should feel
The peal of tiny bells
Or perhaps sense
the velvety tinkle
Of wind chimes
Perhaps…close one’s eyes
In the darkness delve into
The deep wells and
The mysteries of time
Perhaps…we should imagine
The wee space
Pon’ which flowers perform
Their daily drama
They display Pon Nature’s stage
Perhaps…feel the motion
Of individual atoms
or oceans…
Mayhaps sense the colors
Of emotions raw rage
Perhaps…one should open
One’s imagination’s eyes
To open their minds
And realize
Perhaps…there’s a perverse irony
In the mind of man
That e’en with eyes op’ed wide
He sees so little…
So much less
Than he really can
Perhaps…just perhaps
If one would loosen mind’s binds
One could clearly see
Perhaps into the cosmos
And into the mind of God
Let imagination run free
Perhaps….Just perhaps
…It could be…
