THE THINGS WE SEE

What are the things we see?

That which shapes our objectivity

Of reality and of our universe

A three dimensional illusion

Of projected images mentally constructed

Which form our world of perception?

By the mechanics of the eyes

What are the things we see?

That which resides in our subjectivity

Like surrealist painting of a landscape

A world buried in dreams wished-for

In ecstatic race for a glorious future

Coloured by our preferences or prejudices

As the mind assigns its dimension

What are the things we see?

Living conglomerations of energy

Like a prism of white light

With countless different configurations

Separated in a scale of colours and waves

Bringing home the truth, ultimately

That everything is interlinked to a Source
