I see you, and seeing you
I bring you into being
Creation in acknowledgment
The whole world, it is beaming
Awaken from distraction
All the factions unredeeming
Life is so extravagant
Can you not see that it is teeming
Beauty all encompassing
Every cell and atom
Microscopic observation
In an awe I cannot fathom
The grace to case this place
Palpitations set to spasm
A heart that skips the beat
In endless enthusiasm
So thankful for existence
Beyond our understanding
All logic stays confounded
To this mystery enchanting
Appreciate it my whole life
So captured by its romancing
I take a breath to celebrate
And feel my lungs expanding
Consciously determined
Intentionally aware
Deliberate in my actions
With premeditated care
Calculated measures
Eager just to share
That life is so fantastic
Beyond any faults or fears
Merely to have an open eye
It does not mean you see
So much in life can pass you by
And that’s a tragedy
To live your life within a veil
Blinded from the sea
Of the life that flows around you
Dwelling in shadows of debris
Most of the world has a perspective
That is negatively cast
Seeing most life without value
And subjected to their wrath
That they make the world a wasteland
In their daily treaded paths
With such dreaded consequences
Of the compassions which they lack
It first and foremost must be
The heart that draws the sight
The lens of love to filter
The value into a life
Then the mind must be opened
Beyond doctored plight
To see beyond tradition
Beyond offense, to what is right
Then I see you, and seeing you
There is brought about inception
Creation and existence
And value and connection
Breaking passed the boundaries
Of the past of our deceptions
Where all life can radiate
To a mirror of reflection

'To live your life within a veil

Brilliant!
never doubt your talent, dear Poet
just that, someone possessing your poetic genius
tends to blind us mere mortals
and in that blink, we sadly - miss our opportunity
to glean clarity, from the wisdom
you choose to share with a world, that much prefers
the safety cocoon of mediocrity...
(its not you, who needs recognition
rather, its us - who fail to recognise
your undoubted poetic brilliance!
keep believing, keep striving - for yourself
f'ck the selfish world, who'll never care
in the words of Emily Dickinson:
'This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me')
