Sandra Haight Poet Suzette Prime

Shades of Reality

reality is unclear
behind walls things disappear

via dreams pasts reappear
and we return to
joy or fear

we share faces on our phone
watch them move and talk
so convincingly
we are shown
their smiles say we're not alone

senses shape our clarity
depending
how we choose to see
think about reality
interpret
indecisively

JC Brul January 18, 2021 at 9:29 PM Nice one Sandra! I like the philosophy you convey in this “senses shape our clarity depending on how we choose to see” Best wishes in the contest..

Sand Blown January 18, 2021 at 10:46 AM nice write....we see reality patterns in 1/14 of second intervals...translating to a consistency of/in our perceptions that peaks at about a 56% surety...that surety is with respect times direction as an effect yes....but that surety is just over 50%..... still a gamble......ah heck.....we do our best...........stan sand
