Appearances Deceiving – poem

What seems lost

is often found

but playing hide and seek

What seems wrong

is often right

because our knowledge is incomplete

What seems hard

is not always harsh

but a teaching of what not to repeat

What seems a battle

is actually a ballet

if you could sit in the choreographer’s seat

There’s a higher harmony

at work here

sounding subtly from

a celestial sphere

Cracking pitchy encrustations

that block and ban

the free flow of light

according to the original plan

Spirit is perpetually repelled

until it finds propulsion

from a throbbing beaming cascade

emitting from ultra-violet attraction

Once sucked in by this force

of seen and unseen revealing

wonder and joy flood and show

how appearances can be deceiving

(slipping this in to break the hiatus spell… written aboard a flight… is anything what it seems?)
