A thin strip of light
Filtered by our minds.
Permission granted by our eyes
To selected sights and sounds.
A narrow keyhole to the universe.
A KEYHOLE
eye
SEE ME
See me.
Rays of light.
Feel me.
Waves of heat.
Touch me.
Enter the void.
Travel with me.
To places unexplored.
Flashes of lights.
Explosions in space.
Welcome to the unknown.
Welcome to my mind.
GREEN EYE
Your reflection taunts you.
It mirrors your actions.
In shades of green.
Stare back at it if you may.
It will always taunt back.
An endless horror story.
From you and right back.
A DROP OF WATER
A DROP OF WATER
A drop of water.
A drop of nature.
A drop of life.
Clear.
Yet complicated.
Light.
Yet detailed.
Hanging.
By a thread.
Enticing.
To the eye.
So is nature.
So is life.
SEE ME
See me.
Rays of light.
Feel me.
Waves of heat.
Touch me.
Enter the void.
Travel with me.
To places unexplored.
Flashes of lights.
Explosions in space.
Welcome to the unknown.
Welcome to my mind.
A MIND’S EYE
A MIND’S EYE
Mesmerizing.
Enticing.
The eye holds secrets.
Mysteries.
Flashing colors.
Streaming lights.
Across a black emptiness.
A universe of knowledge.
A universe to behold.
KNOCK KNOCK
A house with personality.
Its own unique character.
Sitting on a rise of land.
Watching.
Waiting.
Maybe it isn’t the house,
who is watching and waiting,
but the character who lives inside.
Trick or treat.
THE WATCHFUL EYE
The beauty.
The colors.
The design.
The fine details.
The watchful eye.
No picture can be painted
or statue created to capture
this perfection,
this awe-inspiring wonder.
Here’s to the creator.
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
Look into my eyes.
What do you see?
Do you see a reflection
of yourself?
Do you see what I see
when I look at you?
Do you like what you see?
If not, then there’s still time
to change.
To become a better person.
What do other people see
when they look at you?
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH
Do you feel invisible?
People walk by you in the street,
and don’t bother to say hello.
They don’t bother to
acknowledge your existence.
Who are they to think
so highly of themselves?
Are they any better than you?
Have they discovered
the cure for cancer?
No.
But they think they’re better.
Just an illusion.
Just a misconception of themselves
and their self-worth.
Don’t allow them to put you down.
If you do, then you’re giving them
power they don’t deserve.
Don’t ignore them.
Don’t play their game.
Look them in the eye and force them
to acknowledge your existence.
Hold your head high.
