Anais Nin An

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."                                                                      -Anaïs Nin         

Comprehensive thoughts arrive in the dark as we, unlit 
keep pace like sleepwalkers in a world of drum and jangle 
we never get close to the admittance of what we feel  

long winter buffs and isolation
what are we made of,  
wood ?
 
Pinnacles of surprise are set in motion   
from the moment we perceive ourselves in others 
the precious pursuit of company arrives,   
at friendship's door  

Through grace and restitution, 
everything can be understood; 

All embracing views set through enlightened souls
we are all Columbuses of this world
forever searching for each others border, 
 
what are we made of ?  
blood and vein .
