Can You See?

Can you see? Yes, I feel the sun shining on my face I feel the morning breeze through my hair Can I deny the pleasures of my bond with the Earth See but blackness in her soul and negate Her birth You have your own eyes for lies Can you appreciate the midnight’s stars? You do see them, don’t you? See the distance between and marvel at their light Me? I think they’re gifts for those with the sight Too, though, when I dream I scream But, I remember my place everyday Can you recognize when you forget You get so wrapped up in your daily role Really, it consumes you and takes it’s toll See, it makes you mad and me sad See the Earth’s gifts for us to enjoy What things we take for granted Things we abuse until they leave for good Really special things that are misunderstood Are we ever going to see? I must cry Touch the morning dews and smile The singing birds are here for you Sky and clouds come alive in the shine And winds soar around in suspended time Dream on these things that sing Look into the darkest nooks on land In secret places for hidden gifts not yet smiled upon My eyes search day night with my heart’s will Eyes look back to me and I sense their thrill And scream into the skies with happy sighs… …I can see
