Listen to poem:

Perception

Perception
David J Walker

Imagination has no boundary 
With additional vocabulary 

Darkness is nothing without light
Believing only what we can see

Only what we perceive 
to be real 

Creating a world from scraps of 
How we think we feel 

About the unseen and uncertain 
Reality of a different world 

That can only be explained
Where not everything is named

But still known to be real
