Poem
Perceptions of the world around us, are shaped by what we’ve lost or found in the dusts of membrance, trusts of memberment busts of everEssentialEssences bodies of discernment In every person, there’s a story A deep, complex and vivid glory Some see beauty, some see pain The same landscape, yet not the same pane We view the world through coloured glass And some may see a rose, others thorns en masse of briared walls of no escape, of the impasse, razored maws agape Perceptions can be joyful or bleak A kaleidoscope, that’s ever unique We love, we hate, we laugh, we cry Our emotions, reflections that lie beneath, ripples of watery eye, the deep rings of being a being Yet, if we could just take a step back And see with the eyes of a love we lack Our perceptions might just change And the world could be transformed in brilliant range, back to a pleasing view the eye feasts to see In the end, it’s all we’ve got Our feelings, perceptions, and our own plot of coordinate directions aloft So, let us cherish and embrace The beauty and the love, with no trace of hate and have it all, instead of the have nots For when we see beyond ourselves And feel the pain of someone else Our perceptions broaden wide and far And love can heal the deepest scars So let us walk with open hearts And see the beauty in all parts For in this world of joy and strife We all deserve to live a life- Where love and kindness reign supreme And hopes and dreams can always gleam Let's shift our perceptions, just a bit And make this world a brighter, better fit, for a better place for dreams
