Clairvoyance

Seeing Isn't always believing.

Can you see? 

The horizon, then the birth of a sunset

with beams of life crowning into existence over the hilltop, crying in the name of day.

The air kissing blades, bleeding dew throughout the land;

Anemone, how she whispers throughout the fields, a rumor of Spring.

Beauty is useless, so die swiftly vain deceptions,

 with every creeping thing more so dancing in the shadows proving our sight folly;

can we not be hasty with our perceptions?

Thoughts of Eden, be perfection in the view of a simpleton,

for the fruit of imagination led me elsewhere; 

at the edge of Gaea where stars lay. 

Can you not see them twinkle as they dance?

So deep, this feeling of drifting through infinity, infinitely.

The pace of the stars, dwarfs lying still as furious giants swell beyond themselves.

But you can't see these things I see, your eyes are too wide open.

Rest your curiosity of the peripheral; invite the imaginable.

Feel the veil twisting around your senses; velvet to the thoughts.

Lay still the anxiousness of tomorrow because today; today, we will see this moment.

 

Author's Note

I just think that people trust their eyes too much to see the beauty in the world.

meaning...inner beauty is yet to be discovered then!

yet, for me..umm..i would say it took me on a different level. While reading this poem, i viewed it with Adam and Eve on that hilltop and discovering the beauty of Earth...and to drag it on what you meant it to be read...they, actually, didnt know that later, much more later...what they had seen with their eyes was just mere beauty and what was invisible, was the rotting homogenous society we lived in!

anyway...this poem was a beauty!

I think this is wonderfully written, I enjoyed the universal descriptive and the message you had to give us. Very nice! Excellent delivery. I enjoyed :)
