PERCEPTIONS

Knowledge processed
notions formed
attachment to self

Rhythms of heart
drums with contempt
fluffers with gratitude

Many masks worn
laughter - tears – scorn
dense clouds or crystal clear

Shallow to deep. rivers of the mind
rational, truth, compassion, tolerance
each choice, the soul wears
