A fact and a fallacy,
Our observable reality.
A space shared by so many,
Exploring and forming its identity.
Through thoughts from you and me,
Comparing, preparing collectively.
Inner worlds act reflectively,
Creating what you see.
Acting as the entity,
Carrying you to me.
To my destiny,
To the rest of me.
The best of me,
Who I truly see.
A symphony to the Galaxy,
One entity separately.
All creating energy,
Finding balance in harmony.
Disarming negativity,
With heightened sensitivity.
We start shifting collectively,
Perceptively.
Our Perspective equally,
On being the change We wish to see.
Living respectively,
Spreading positivity.
Reflecting a reality you wish to see,
Without labels or scarcity.

Half expected inspiration to fill the air
while I endeavoured to write a poem.
A curse responding much like a veil
reigns over the moonless night while
out my window no stars come into view
and the silence feels perceptively eerie
~ my pen bone dry.

Depending on your viewpoint:
time is a subjective thing.
When you are in a rush or feel anxious,
time suddenly seems perceptively slow:
but when you are having fun, it flies by.
A child's day seems forever;
always finding time to play.
Oblivious to all watches and clocks
a child's awareness of time is askew:
for it's a concept they've yet to master.
But that innocence doesn't last:
adults are obsessed with time.
And seemingly speeding up as we age,
years, suddenly morph into memories:
as yesterday's outnumber tomorrow's.
Caught in boredom's doldrums,
our perceptions of time change,
The sands of time keep forever flowing:
the past, present, and future flow as one
as we rush to waste what little we have.
We squander what we treasure;
till we find, there's no time left.

Every layman knows that since long ago,
painting, sketching and sculpting
by those possessing valid talent
has produced art that exhilarates hearts
and/or thoughts as artistry caught.
Not all know that our modern times
paired fine arts’ aesthetics chime
with craft’s utilitarian cadence
under Visual Art's mega umbrella.
Many wish riddance to this ambivalence.
To me, the grabbing-high from creativity
comes when it moves me perceptively.
I’m not much for art particulars,
its critics, popular trends or scholars.
I have my own criteria for art to
be brought home and share my hearth;
it must spark my imagination’s girth
with a delight that bubbles forth.

The twinkling stars light up the Night,
creating a magical sight.
And a rising moon starts to glow,
against the black backdrop of space.
Held in Night's ebony embrace,
Luna's light gilds the clouds below.
Visible to the naked eye,
shooting stars zip through the Night sky.
And spinning perceptively slow,
the Milky Way seems surreal;
a spiraling galactic wheel
superimposed on Night's shadow.
The twinkling stars light up the Night,
so far away, and yet still bright.
Quasars and pulsars, twirling fast,
appear to flicker as they spin.
Once these pulsating lights begin:
their true beauty is unsurpassed.
The universe is God's domain:
somethings we can't, as yet, explain.
We don't know how long it will last:
it might well expand forever.
We see no end, whatsoever:
all that we know is that it's vast.
Look up and behold the grandeur
of a jewel-encrusted sky,
swaddled in velvety velour.

Inspiration is not a who-what or even a where-why.
In act, I aspire to inspire both what and where;
we can fly.
How flies can inspire flies to fly higher than (all) the other why's.
So what not why say
you and I do inspire you and I.
Why I am an inspiration, so are you who is I.
We more may probably could touch higher feathery skies.
I know I can see the inspire inside of your ponderous eyes.
Fiery nose blind eyes inspire to the what's who's and where's why's.
Perceptively sound minds prospectively acquire inspirationally aspiring eyes.
Over time find where reasons matter for why who inspires I.
Who truly inspires
not only molds why
but keeps you and I alive.
Truth be told...
it is you who inspires I.

Listen with a beckoned ear.
The way a tandem flock
Assembles to the gravity of warmth.
Fearlessly cascading the open sky.
Only to veer for nourishment
Or an unpredictable speck of dust.
A kiss is first science, then art.
Osculating the geometric curves of the fit.
Once true, a kiss becomes abstract to the senses.
Perceptively measured by taste and texture.
Come. Please.
While we are nestlings in this season.
Let’s experiment.
Perhaps practice with a pallet and brush.

Open up your heart and mind
Life is changing with the time
Don't get lost, don't get behind
You must broaden your horizon
Deepen your thoughts, change a narrow mind
You'll be surprise what you might find
Even though it may not be your kind
But, don't be too open 'till you become blind and undefined
Discovering the psyche of others sensibly
New ideas perceptively leads to intellectual nourishment
A world of diversity with encouragement to propagate
Too bias and prejudice will only complicate
It is what it is so let the world populate
