Sometimes, people get bogged down with the abstract so in this poem, I decided to include an interpretation.
Some understood without it.
IMAGINATION Closed eyes; under a locked prism of unavailable light subjects our third eye to mind's internal creation; imagined images viewed by non-existent senses on an opague three dimensional screen. In an algorithm of shedded particle waves Insight quickly fades back into a darkened vision of only half a picture without reflection. It leaves with us a broken trail of possibilities new thoughts, new choices, changes in destiny warily made under duress of immediacy trying to conceive a canvas framed by the hand of God. It is in response to these panchromatic memories held back by the sun's blackened light, that we clearly notice how the prism reflects an undercurrent. of shadeless secrets different than the realm of visionary colors. Sensory detections relinquish an uncompleted picture. The image within, at times, may reveal an idea. the transmission of which however placed when received should strive to become an emotional mover of otherwise placid thinking where wizened leaders can in causes wept in sorrow from yesterday's sadness proclaim a hope for a brighter tomorrow. INTERPRETATION: When our eyes are shut tight, there is no light or vision. We are limited to what we see with our inner mind. Nevertheless there is an internal sense, a feeling of a creative process going on. It occurs as insight and often fades into a clouded vision of a thought picture barely perceived within. When we leave the path of contemplative thinking, we lose the benefit of what could have been. The choices we make are usually expedient and we struggle to determine what it is that we really want. Often we are faced and challenged by outside forces many of which we deflect as we espouse our point of view without exploring all the possibilities. We see what could be and would like to be hoping that it will make a difference. and help humanity move forward to a brighter tomorrow. CAK 5-23-2103

Dear BL, Thank you for your kind words. I do think differently about different issues and sometimes wonder if it's only me (a little crazy person) but then I get a lovely review from you and I guess it makes it all worthwhile. Allan

Sheol, I do believe in a creator of all things, but not in the Christian sense. God is, I believe, beyond all anthropomorphic thinking. My of my poems reflect the unknowing nature of life.
