[hometext] => We either notice too much or too little...
[bodytext] => *****, the moon over the water is bright, Though carefully sliced by our shadow Heeding sentiments of privacy, Curved to invite flattery, The birds, gulls by their shape, Ignore the their source of light and Stare down from predetermined heights As we gape towards the beacon above, (Grope might make for more fitting terms) Merely different points of view. Why can I not simply accept its presence And carry on, instead I am forced to stare As if something was amiss, almost hoping For a change in course or Alteration of its innocence. Maybe the birds have it right; Recognize, utilize, but never analyze. Merely different points of view. But wait, no, that simply can’t be right I was never meant for flight I was meant to stare and wonder As they were meant for air and plunder. Strange, the solitary cloud blackens our view With dense undulations Masquerading as solids Though we both know Its true permissiveness. But we both know that our Self-proclaimed knowledge Has escaped us. The gulls stay Uniform, unchanged, unaltered, the new Dark fits their course, as expected. I too Am content, as far as I am concerned The moon does not exist behind the clouds. I have something new to capture my attention. Merely different points of view. As I think back now, I had betrayed my surroundings, I might have seen its reflection in the water But who am I to question What is behind What is in front? I should have seen it in the water.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
