Revisit

1/9/10

While I grow older,

adjusting to changing perspective

because 'truth' has shifted

giving me new eyes

and heart to feel,

then world becomes transformed

as interpretive layers lift

which presents original shining,

the beauty always present

that escapes routine perceiving

from repetitive calloused outlook,

this gives great pause

whenever painting any reality

with 'sobering' broad brush,

how often is misunderstanding

at bottom of judgment

where internal jury decides

what is unequivocally 'so'

only to discover fallacy

once culprit enters history

hung from prejudiced gallows,

it takes daily awakening

reminding each virgin experience

occurs regardless of awareness,

no adulatory recognition necessary,

so it behooves me,

humanity, to start fresh

without our habitual consciousness,

able to revisit miracle.
