what you see (original)

What your eyes can not see

May not be what you see

In chemistry,

We are taught that everything we see is from light

And that without light, how can we be so sure the color remains intact?

No one can confirm it as no one can see it

But to feel

It feels the same

It tastes the same

It seems the same

Oh by your eyes do not speak

How color changes a person’s personality

A wave forces a tide

Tectonic plates create lands

Curious, yet it doesn’t speak

Caught in a bear trap like a fox

Hunted by dogs and hunters

Skinned alive of my flesh

It seems so natural.

Like it’s normal.

Like it’s just simply using what’s there?

Like it’s what you see?

oh, but can your eyes listen? 

Read the words off my lips?

Watch the waves and moon cycle for it’s daily changes?

Watch the warning signs of a deadly fire?

Watch the lingering decay as the flower slowly bends, wilts, and crumbles?

Can it truly?

The colors are changing and it’s leaving me blinded

But sometimes they fade from the oncoming darkness

The clouds that float over my head

The rain dropping down yet never daring to touch me.

But it’s dark.

So can you see it?

Or was it really ever there?
