The Way We Look
The outward shows itself,
It is the portrait on the canvas,
We overlook and bypass,
Its message is in the mind of the painter.
There's a restraint,
The outside is the constraint,
We need to push through its walls,
To see what is in the stalls.
It’s human to judge by the cover,
It’s what meets our eyes,
Our elements hover,
They hinder us from breaking through the ice.
It takes a painstaking effort
To push beyond the boundary,
Though we appear stationary,
We've transcended the barriers.
We're on a flight to a new realm,
We've gone beyond the helm,
Peace finds our being,
The enclosed we have seen.
