Cleaning the Lens of Life Poem, by Sharon\'s Poet, at My poetic side

I suppose it’s no wonder

That a camera appeals to me

With thoughtful images

It speaks poetically

And within my heart

A poetic ear

Through the lens of my eyes

A visual story I hear

Upon the morning stage

The performance of sunrise

Played out with such compassion

The magic right before my eyes

Same as on my camera

And the lens I’m cleaning

I must keep my heart open

To see life’s intricate meaning

Of life’s architect

Many a question I’ve asked

Of which in turn

The answers are now my task

Rightfully so, I was told

“I could tell you”

After a brief pause

“It’s better that I show you”

Look and you shall see

That which is there

But take a closer look

Of that which holds your stare

For only with an open heart

Will you see the truth

Your inner detective

The all seeing sleuth

Life is a gift

Do with it as you will

Look for the smile in your heart

Generously let it fill

So keep your heart open

Avoid preventable strife

Use your time wisely

Cleaning the lens of life

Couldn’t have said it better my self. Face the world with an open heart and open mind if you truly want to live life to the fullest. A powerful message beautifully written.
