Glass Darkly

John Prophet

Glass
darkly.
Reflections.
Perceptions
of creation.
Shadows
on a cave
wall.
What
can be
known,
understood?
Human
pictographs,
of creation,
reality.
Perception 
shackled,
stunted.
Words,
concepts,
thoughts.
Reflections
of a
finite 
vision.
Hieroglyphics
of  
creation.
Through
a glass darkly
we walk.
Reflections
of tiny
scope.
Snarling
righteous
little beasts.
What fools
we mortals
be.

    We each see our own things through that dark glass and wonder which is right John.
