Perspectives

You saw some petals falling from the trees
I saw flowers growing quietly unseen

you heard the rain thundering down so loud
I heard silent winds kiss the very clouds

you read of a half clad man in some story
I read of this man dressed in God’s glory

you saw a child trembling and in fear
I sensed the mother’s heart tender with tears

you found a path sure to lead you to light
I found forgiveness to even forgive night

you saw a withered old man waiting to die
I saw him wait to embrace the waiting sky

you hear ali write much in confusing sense
I find him bewildered and in silence
