Perception2

A Poem by John Prophet

Perception
of things.
What’s seen.
What’s heard.
Sense of
surrounding.
Brain/mind
interpretation.
What’s
perceived
as real.
What the
mind can
process.
Capabilities.
Limited
capabilities.
Brain power
limited.
Processing
power finite.
Sense
of reality
incomplete.
Cognition
based
on the
incomplete,
minuscule.
Missed.
More than
meets the
eye.
Unseen.
Unknown.
Surmising
with narrow
knowledge.
Looking
out.
Out
from the
terrarium.
Looking
out at the
infinite.
Perspective.
Pebble
in the
void.
All
that’s known
derived
on a
pebble.
Pebble
in the
limitless
void.
