SEEING THINGS AS THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE SEEN
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
Why do the stars look different when you look at them inside of the eyes of daytime? I know I am seeing them because I see the moon he's hanging out one side and the sun she's on the other side chillin' and shining having herself some great fun.
It is five in the morning, I should be snoring but now I am seeing things as they are not meant to be seen. am I sleeping is this all a lucid dream? the birds are waking up with their lullaby to sing. but I do not see them so how do I know they can fly if I do not have hard solid proof that these angels have wings?
I have not spoken in what seems like an eternity, I have not felt my legs for it seems like around the time I crawled and got on my feet to start walking, I am hearing voices no I am not mad I just do not know who is doing all the talking.
Quietness is starting to fill my mind, I am now at last laying still with each step that I take I concentrate on that one and that one before another one I make.
Seeing things as they are not meant to be seen not taking for granted what is now in my present because the air that I breathe is present. a gift to me a gift for you so we must all be mindful of what we do.
