Reality

How is it that we continuously fail to realize

The truths that we see with our eyes can also be lies

That our perception of reality, shapes our reality

Don’t get caught up in semantics like individuality

Though it’s enriching to celebrate our differences

It is our likenesses that allow us to make our inferences

Through these things with which we all, at some point, identified

We find a little common ground and make understanding simplified

Wake the sleep from your eyes

Please, open your tired minds

See not just what you envision

But use all your senses in collision

People are no more flatscans than imagination

The world is full of things worthy of infatuation

But take heed of old proverbs regarding moderation

Be weary of the humble, looking twice for admiration

But never hold back the joy that you feel

At the end of the day, it's you, who deems what’s real

If space and time are continuum’s, not linear constants

Instinct and intuition should be your favored consultants

For just as the tree does not say to the leaf , at all,

‘Winter is near and I need you to take a perennial fall’

Neither do we process reality in a single sensory line

The beauty of life, is that this one is yours as much as it’s mine.
