With Eyes Closed

When something we’re doing doesn’t seem right,
with our eyes closed, we look for an insight.
 It isn’t something obvious we feel,
it’s more like a sense that it isn’t real.

There’s something amiss; it could turn out wrong.
Something is missing or doesn’t belong.
In our process have we left something out?
Maybe we need is to try a new route.

It’s not what we’re doing, it’s why it’s done.
If intent was wrong, it must be undone.
Soulfully we ask just what should we do?
To each of our minds the answer came through.

If we let love flow, we can clear the air.
With our new insight, we both will be fair.

JENNIFER PROXENOS Date: 5/26/2022 5:34:00 AM We live and learn, and thus become more wise and it is through our own mistakes that we sometimes make along the way that we gain wisdom and that will never stop , we simply now understand one another better. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Anil Deo Date: 5/23/2022 10:06:00 AM Your 3 stanzas reminded me of my poem today, from Acts 5: Ananais & Sapphira - slain for lyingvtompeter & thus, to God (?). The final lines is good advice for all relationships, especially two by two. ThanX Coach Bill
Robert Gorelick Date: 5/22/2022 7:38:00 PM As Abraham Lincoln said "Let us listen to our better angels. An engaging sonnet, my friend, Robert
Brother Jacob Date: 5/22/2022 2:59:00 PM “It’s not what we’re doing, it’s why it’s done.” No words could be more truer. A wonderful Sonnet Bill; great job! (:
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/22/2022 2:10:00 PM when love enters the situation, the way becomes clear. With love, insight prevails and conflicts are diminished. A profound sonnet, dearest Bill. I particularly liked the line: soulfully we ask just what should we do.... you're gifted
David Kavanagh Date: 5/22/2022 1:50:00 PM indeed when a feeling seems surreal Bill there is usually something strange going on, a sensory overload perhaps or just lost in the moment, the latter is probably more likely to be good, a very interesting Sonnet, I do like the way you approach the situation, cheers David
Vijay Pandit Date: 5/22/2022 12:14:00 PM So true-- It isn’t something obvious we feel, it’s more like a sense that it isn’t real. We know it by intuition--I like the advice in ending lines, Bill.
