Everyone sees
What they see
Through the prism of light
That makes up their spectrum
Parameters of vision
Equals
Parameters of sight
Are any colors
Not envisioned
Missing or non--existent
Is that red that you conjure up
The same as mine
I've heard those people --so insistent
Who will argue
That they know it is
And those who are just as certain
That they know--definitely
That it is not
Every time...I just shake my head
At that entrenched thinking
Without any real thought
So there you go --isn't that the point
Can thinking be a concept?
Twisted up like a knot
So place the opposing distance
Whatever your insistence
Where absolutes often grow roots
So often in the wrong spot
I'm pretty sure I believe.....hmmmm
That there ARE absolutes
In science, math and measurements
To many;Β Β religion makes the list
Where the faith that they insist
Is the only one that makes sense
I always ... Without fail
Accept the rigid positions
At each end of the scale
Really do exist
Without a doubt
I can say I remain
Somewhere in between
That is always my domain
And I would never tell you that
You're wrong or if your right
Should it come to that
No matter what I will sincerely agree
To get along
So six inches or six miles distance
For me ...
... Doesn't change the point at all
They mean exactly the same
IF...you can accept that expansion
Equals Parameters of visions...
....Parameters of sight
Darkness is only darkness to those
Who can --truly ignore the light
So I shake my head when
Entrenched thinkers do
What they always seem to do
Saying things like.....
...If you fall off a cliff in a dream
And hit the ground
YOU REALLY DO DIE!
And I say ..what I always say

"YEAH ! WHO TOLD YOU ?"


SAD THING IS'- a few people get it...
.......but not all.
