Poetry Day: Mind’s Eye

Yahoo Image Search

(Not 100% sure where I was going here.  Possibly about how we examine and interpret the world through our own senses and mind.  Yet, we can run into people who view things differently.  Do we all share the same reality or do we live in a world where billions of realities are converging to make some kind of system?)

I view the world

With an invisible eye

The translator of my senses

Peeling every color

And shucking every layer

To find the truth of sight

Leaving me in wonder

If what I see is shared

Or if I watch my world alone

    A very vivid depiction.

    Sometimes I feel like I’m from a different planet when I talk to people who were born in this century or when I see movie adaptations of books I’ve read that totally change the characters and story while claiming they are “faithful” adaptations.

  2. Your poem raises an excellent philosophical discussion point. How are we sure we see things the way others do. Is red the same from eye to eye. What if red to some is orange to others and visa versa. The discussion about planes of existence could go on for hours. How do we know we occupy the same plane at all times? Well no answers here. A super poem.
