Perception's Experience ... Poems like paintings most often are gauged By ghost light or depth of imagery's air; Teasingly taunting with mystical flair Ardor arousing, when artfully staged. An abstract message leaps out from the page Revealing to wonder, thoughts hidden there; As marvels expose the concepts they bare - Their pose alerts senses ~ your soul's assuaged! Essence for pleasure may reach a quick end, When often with haste, there's so much we miss; Grasping the bare facts, yet passing the pith. Perception's point ~ must awaken again Retracing our steps through wisdom's abyss. Magic's revived when experience steps in. Joy A. Burki-Watson |
