Perspective

a swirling marble,

with an opaque surface.

smooth, glossy,

and a fraction of met potential.

 

darkness above

darkness below

darkness forever.

silence.

stillness.

no sunshine.

in a box shut up with nails.

 

merely a creation.

neither a flaw nor a perfection.

not watching over,

but just observing

not scrutinizing,

or experimenting,

or collecting data.

just an abstract work of art.

 

home,

beautiful and small

and big at the same time

painful and draining

and inspiring all at once.

 

love

beauty

freedom

thought

life

 

hate

questions

wars

never answered

 

a burst of song and sounds

and lips and smiles

and hugs and such fulfilling words.

contradictions and oxymorons,

 

and one billion other ways

to view the world.

 

Perspective.
