Vision Poem by Amera Andersen

Consider the mantis that cannot pray;
for it's the wind that keeps his legs clinging.
Or consider the salmon that's fighting her way;
for it's the surge that belays her swimming.

It's likened to those who are blinded by life,
with their eyes open wide, they fail to see,
for the wind is turmoil, the stream is strife
and pother will sway them aberrantly.

Perception depends on your focal point,
so close your eyes; use the lens of your soul.
Look into yourself, your mind will anoint
the eyes of your spirit and take control.

Remember to see with perfect vision;
using soul and spirit in unison.
