Perspective
/We stare into the distance
Searching, seeking, yearning
And see only murky haze
A nebulous muddle
Colors, shapes indistinct
Unfocused
Undefined
Does our reach exceed our grasp?
Our lack of comprehension preclude understanding?
Is our frame of reference skewed?
Insufficient to recognize that displayed before us?
Or are we stretching too far?
Attempting too much?
Contracting our gaze
We begin to make out forms
Familiar, settled, attainable
Kaleidoscopic points coalesce
Into the world around us
Earth, sun, sky
Flora, fauna, people
Perhaps the greater picture is beyond this plane
Only to be appreciated when we cross the final gulf
And become One with it
While things closer to us
Are those we can touch, and feel
Affect, and love
And perhaps this is the reality
Where we should direct our efforts
Using our powers of intellect and passion
Yes, to gain glimpses of those greater Truths
But more so, spending our days
Finding bliss
In our “Here” and “Now”
