Distortions
by Dave Harm

Do you remember the Twilight Zone? "Don't touch your TV. We control your horizontal, we control your vertical." We see a distorted world where everything is the way we learned - either by books or by experience. Distorting our views of a world waiting to be found. The question is will we find this world in our lifetime or will we find it in our next realm of existence? Distortions is a sister poem to "Illusions."


Eyes look but they don’t see
… strained …
to see objects of this world
hidden in cubicles of glass
is that a person or a tree
a picture frame, a book,
… or something else …
thoughts of this world
images learned…
are no help

entering a new realm
an existence never perceived
eyes open… we understand
distortions cleared
a picture… crisp and alive
a fantasy comes to life
never in this world
maybe… not the next
… an existence …

we can’t comprehend
no matter how we try
with limited knowledge
learned from books
… not the mind …
patience and faith
is the path…
to clear distortions
and… maybe…
see the other side

(c)2005 Dave Harm

A very insightful, interesting write.

Sometimes it is indifference that makes our world seem skewed. There is so much craziness going on that we kind of drop out and fail to see with clarity. Moving into another realm, we are stricken with wonder at the newness and colored by hope of a better place. Perhaps all things reside in a parallel time and it is as simple as skipping from one track to the next to find another dimension to our reality. I have always loved The Twilight Zone, especially the old ones. This is an excellent write, Dave. Merry Christmas to you and those whom you love.
Take care,
Sherry

A very intriguing piece, Dave - and I loved both the Twilight Zone, and the Outer Limits, where this poem truly goes.
Reviewed by Phillip William Allen 12/24/2005
Reality and the "Zone" must always co-exist. If not then sanity isn't born.

Merry Xmas

Too many of us are programmed heavily not to ever change the message. One of those damn devil things. Very insightful, David. I enjoyed reading...
