The Very Beauty of Being

‘Tis the subtle nuances that open hearts,
intention’s sway and heartstrings pulled
to see a certain way,
and I feel an opening,
like the petals of a bloom unfurl,
to bask in the radiance of truth,
delivered so eloquently.
Beside truth a plethora of detail,
unseen at first,
yet at the periphery of thought,
and truth in its singular stark address,
wears the clothing of its purpose,
the intentions and subtlety of its becoming,
we may observe in all its glory.
Sight is but a platform,
a faculty that begs much more,
and to vision and explore this,
brings far more than truth alone,
for truths journey is long and hard,
so much misconstrued, and the baggage it carries,
gives proof it all is understood.
We are a feast of input and sensation,
and each faculty offers more,
to be sought and comprehended
an enlightenment life implores,
and the complexity of this diversity
becomes simplicity in comprehension,
as truth like a bright star descended.
Eyes become hearing,
touch becomes smell,
and the sum of our ability is reality’s knell,
as perceptions become finer,
understanding unique,
the world a feast of knowledge,
the very beauty of being.
