The is about seen and unseen realities.


I Can’t See Reality
By
Bill Cottringer

I realized something—
I am legally blind;
I can’t see reality.
Oh sure I see stuff,
But that’s all in flux;
What I can’t see,
Is the un-seeable—
What’s right behind,
All this normal stuff?
The longing inside,
That’s just a feeling;
The sliver of glimpses,
I occasionally see,
Just pose questions;
Is it vague memories,
Of my forgotten soul?
Trying to be seen,
Always outspoken,
But my relentless mind?
Or just enough to know,
With enough certainty,
The reality I can’t see,
Is just behind the curtain,
Of unseen real time,
I do see here and now;
So maybe I’m not blind,
Just needing to see past,
What I’m looking at—
The meaning of wind,
Warmth of sun,
Raptor’s eye;
I see reality.

For we walk by faith and not by sight. This poem reminds me that God says, 'no eyes have seen, no ears have heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of man the things that He has prepared for us.' And so, the unseen is actually unimaginable from our human perspectives...Isn't that cool? Blessings...Frances

Sometimes we see what we want our eyes and mind to see and blurr out the rest, nicely done...

Be safe,
Karen
