Poetic Lenses

I hand you a gift

open it...

glasses, just a pair of glasses

now put them on

what do you see?

A mountain, a stream, a flower

now look closer

what do you see?

A mountain...that kisses the sunset

and sets the soul on fire

with colors that explode

A stream...that glistens in reflection

trickling, softly speaking 

you see it's heart

A flower...petals each so different

blooming in peace, beautiful peace

so enchanting

I have given you the most wonderful pair of glasses

you will now see the world through a poet's eyes

cherish the explosion of heart...forever enchanting

A poet can instill many emotions into its reader... ofter more than one emotion with a single line.
