Unobserved Images of a Closed Mind

Unobserved Images Of A Closed Mind A prism of light All the beauty of the spectrum Swirling in endless waves Twisting in strange patterns around my mind Their movement unlike anything ever seen Neither man nor nature could imagine such colors Pastel clouds drift across a bright azure sky Birds dance through leafy trees Animals scurry and hide in the golden flowers A woman dressed in a sheer silver nightgown stands on the shore Before her waves break on jagged blackish blue rocks The sound is that of a symphony written by the gods Sounds that man’s orchestras could never create Sounds that even nature could devise in its infinite mind Performed only for a select few The few who have seen the other realities The dimensions hidden by closed minds of the humans It takes a belief that mortal man cannot attain At least not until he realizes that his mortality is not important His hatred is nothing that universes care about He is of no value until he can see Until he can learn that he is not alone and they have noticed They have judged And they gave man, humankind, one more chance To live and let live Without hatred or judgment Without war or violence Just live
