With The Eyes.

Eyelids lifted, pupils gaze.

Breaking down the barriers

Breaking away from what is seen

Searching for the difference

Searching to understand things that are greater than the.

Stepping forth in opposition

Blinders to the eyes

Walking into each new step

With a commitment to seeing with the eyes.

Seeing scenes for what they are

Learning the world anew

Coming to understand through only stories

And relationships that are built between me and you.

Drowning out the noise

Of the notions that the world displays.

Drowning out the noise

To develop my own assumptions each and every day.

A commitment to staying open

Eyelids lifted, pupils gaze.

A commitment to taking in

Each moment organically as it plays.

There are stories the world has told me

Notions about me and you

Outlines to which we are confined

In this world as we engage.

Narratives of what should

Expectations of what should not

Legends of defined meaning

A prescription of a view

Which we are expected to take hold.

What happens when my experience

Differs from the things in which you deem?

Do I falter in my knowing

Do I question the essence of the?

As life is lived and played out

As steps are taken along the way

Is it possible that the intended path

May be the one that seems to be astray?
