today’s eyes are all smoke and mirrors,
concealing a gloomy black hole.
A smile the inferior planet, orbiting
between lips more superior.
Today’s eyes polarize heart and mind,
seeing the insights of both, but not willing to choose.
Today’s eye's need only to be content with the view.

Alas... humanity have grown a new kind of eyes... seeing only ourselves without any self-reflection.

Very well written. We need to be content with our view.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteSadly, I think many miss the view even when it's right in front of their eyes; so focused on other things.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteGreat images--the rotation gave me the sense of spinning out of control despite the ultimate flatness of the view. :)
