Promise Me You Won’t Miss The Things That Can Be Left Unseen

but promise me

you won’t miss the way the horizon is painted

the softest gold and blue

for you

promise me

you won’t close your eyes

to the things that are lovely

and unaltered

in a counterfeit world

don’t miss

the untouched

the unspoken

the unseen;

what is felt with our spirit’s eyes

is what helps us

actually see.
