Mushroom Perspectives
I'm a caterpillar on a snail-back ride.
I've approached mushrooms from every side.
From every angle, they're just the same.
It's radial symmetry (in a name).
The only good sides a mushroom's got 'em
is the top and also the bottom.

Parasitic Perspectives
Humans is what we are because we have a skill given to us
Under a word called metacognition
Maybe that feeling of metacognition gives us the opportunity to trust
Availing our own thoughts, feelings, and actions
Nevertheless, this metacognition becomes slowly solipsistic
Selfish in other words, thinking that we are the only ones
However, we forget like humans always do, that

Flipping perspectives
A flip
Of perspectives
Lenses changed
Newness arriving
Then and there..
A frequent story
Seeming to miss
There's no one
To witness
A flip..but that's
Another story...

Perspectives
A symphony’s no symphony if it is never heard
A poem is no poem at all if it contains no word
A rainy day’s a rainy day unless it brings some joy
A prized possession’s valueless if treated as a toy
A summer is not summer if winter frosts still fall
A bitter heart’s no blessing for it is closed

Perspectives
If the darkness fails to engulf you, the light will.
When the chaos can not drown your thoughts, the silence will.
If the hatred refuse to make your scars bleed,
The adoration can not heal.
Yet if Life fails to make you understand, the void in which we live,
Give Death a chance for what you want to

Perspectives
Like normal people my age, it is common for us to take one look at someone and judge them based on what we see, not what we know.
You can assume someone is weird. You can assume anything about anyone, anywhere.
In middle school, I lost them.
My grandparents. One in 6th, one in 7th.
It was like

Interesting Perspectives
A storm is afoot for those walking
thin lines whether they
know it or not
Plots conceived in the dark never
really go as planned
as divine hands will eventually
bring things to light
Everything has its reason & the plight
of those that answer the call
ring true
even if the contents of the call
isn't immediately viewed
Sometimes the message is chopped
& screwed proving
unintelligible to

guerillas
My boyfriend Peter’s like smoke, he’s elusive. He doesn’t always carry his phone.
There’s a crosswalk in Tokyo, it’s in all the movies. The light changes and hundreds of people walking in different directions meet - but they don’t collide - they make room for each other, flowing around each other like water.
Peter and I make

Broken perspectives
There is so little space I could give in my skies,
Every moon has left a whole cluster of clouds full of lies,
I cannot unclog a product polluted in disguise,
Don’t ask me to lay in your web you chose to improvise ,
I have seen too many oceans being mistreated for wastelands,
So

Different Perspectives
There are those who think with their head
From the time they’re born until dead.
For them, things always seem logical.
Sometimes profound, but never magical.
Then there are those who think with their heart,
And they live in a world quite apart.
They wear their hearts on their sleeves low
And end up like Venus de Milo.
Most people straddle the fence

Glimpsing the Future
“We often throw away what we still have so as not to regret what we have already lost.” - Luigina Sgarro
Black is white’s shadow.
Day is night’s despair.
Morning is evening’s dare.
Thick is thins embrace.
Love is hate’s defiance.
Hope is desperation’s death.
Light is dark’s sadness.
Life is death’s contrast.
Beautiful is repulsion’s misfortune.
Affection is loathing’s imp.
Joy is sorrow’s memory.
Laughter is

Changing Perspectives On the Outlook of Life
Changing Perspectives on the outlook of life
Pace yourselves
Eat a piece of life day by day
And if thats to heavy and your a light eater
Try an hour at a time
And to all the snackers how about minute by the minute
Take a deep breath and breathe
Balance your days
Now whats on your plate

Mind Sets
Scarcely had dawn lit the town…
Nighties hugged tight around…
Onlookers at an overnight transformation…
Winter wonderland’s aspiration!
People light the fire and consider…
Let others go outside and take risks.
Only those truly dedicated few
Understand and act on loving neighbours, through
Getting everything prepared as they go…
Heavy clothing to protect from snow, they
Shovel roadways with their ploughs…
