Perspective

Perspective

It is not for us to be given complete understanding 

None of mortality is gifted with such, only the divine

The closer we are the less, the more distorted we see

Our vision to a situation when facing is never twenty, twenty

If we would allow ourselves to be disciplined enough

Be far removed from what's close-up, the familiar 

Courageous to experience the unfamiliar, to move not knowing 

Venturing out into the adventure that is life's path 

While life's vicissitudes beckon us to get closer, to embrace them

It is by taking a step away, choosing another way 

We dare to say even come back another day 

Then in such euphoric moments, it becomes clearer

The path that one must take if it be in a world, be it alone 

There is strength when in our singular personhood, we can choose

This gift that's been given to us, like all to view life from inside out, or outside in

It is such with any work of art the beauty of it comes alive by how it is viewed

This masterpiece that breathes, moves, and has its being 

When seen from afar is loved, and with great contemplation is desired 

I am not here alone, I am what I am, because I am loved
