Seeing clearly

Perhaps it is good not always
to be able to see so clearly.

I take off my glasses and raise
my eyes to the assembled assembly
of sunrays that makes the sky ablaze.
At that moment directly
my brain begins a new phase
and starts a creative journey.

When the ends cannot be seen,
the brain concocts its own stories
to set its very particular scene.

Maybe we all want to see too clearly –
we never let ourselves relax,
and let our mind wander
to the endless possibilities
that all our lives hold.

Very thought-provoking; didactic but not preachy!
