Ways of Blindness

We want hard 
And feel fast
and overlook 
the others' grief
others' sorrow 

We can't see 
Because we look
and want to look
above the rest
actively miss him
or mishear her 

Where would we
Get calm and reflect? 
is not the other
real too?

What about inside?
Where does the look go
that we miss
actively lie
by misseeing

When life is short
And hearing takes long
And what we miss
Will not repeat 

Every sight
Every together
Every one
Counts

  1. John, I absolutely love and appreciate this. While truth is universal, our experiences and frameworks are not. Understanding the perspectives of others allows us to gain new insights and abilities to succor others and feel gratitude for the blessings we enjoy. Thanks! While our reach may be limited, we are blessed as we do what we can.
