Poetic Lenses

I hand you a gift

open it...

glasses, just a pair of glasses

now put them on

what do you see?

A mountain, a stream, a flower

now look closer

what do you see?

A mountain...that kisses the sunset

and sets the soul on fire

with colors that explode

A stream...that glistens in reflection

trickling, softly speaking 

you see it's heart

A flower...petals each so different

blooming in peace, beautiful peace

so enchanting

I have given you the most wonderful pair of glasses

you will now see the world through a poet's eyes

cherish the explosion of heart...forever enchanting

you know, most people would forget them somewhere, lose them, break them or sell them on ebay or craiglist. I have done a couple poems like this, but in mine I just spoke of what I see. Your heart is one that wants to share the visions of depth and clairity you and many poets see with everyone. Yours is a willing and open heart, a gift to your own soul that transcends everything of this physical plane.

Holly, I love this piece! Some people really only see mountain, stream and flower. The details! It's all about the details. Exploring the details with poetry makes it possible for someone to really see! Well done. Angi~

I love this concept, Holly. What a unique gift...

[Holly Mason]

hey I am selling these to your students behind the cafeteria for 50 bucks a pair ...it is going to be a straight A kinda year...hahhaahhaha*)
thank you so fine teach*)

[Rita L. Sev]

That's a good idea - you'll make a few bucks, and I'll get to read some good writing... do they come with grammar and spell check? ;)

[Holly Mason]

well for spell check and grammar they will have to purchase my special ear plugs (not headphones) this way they can block out all the worldly distractions and THINK*) of course there is a meal deal combo- specs and plugs- $70.00 a set or $50 each ...hahhahaxoxoxo

[Rita L. Sev]

Sounds like a good deal! ;)

To see the world through any artist's eyes is to see so much more so differently...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is wonderful, Holly...in next to last line "poet's eyes"--

but yes, we could think of ourselves as a pair of glassses for the reader to see what maybe they don't notice very often if at all.

[Holly Mason]

thank you fine sir...heading in for repairs*)
