I Should Have Seen It Coming

I should have seen it coming – but more often the obvious is yet only viewed through a cloak of personal affections and ignorance – I should have seen it coming but the heart is a clown a camp of favorite characters the real covered-over beneath enticing glitter of circus-tents and performance dreams I should have seen it coming but light and dark are only the messengers of vision love and hate from the dugout of far deeper passions And what if one did see it coming? Is not blindness the free-will choice of a spirit-soul, God having sent us to earth oblivious His methods and reasons giving us literature and faith in their stead... Should we think and reason better than our Maker? Nay!~ Love, needs no vision, outside itself – Its own omnipotence and divine dissolution.... (Feb, 2 – For the I Shoulda Seen It Comin' Poetry Contest of John Lawless)
