SEEING

I wish I could explain to you

how it is that when I see

a sunrise

on a shattered landscape

an empty shoe

washed up on a beach

a blackbird

pecking the bones of a cat

an old man

laughing in spite of the fear

a child

playing games with a stopped clock

a wild flower

blooming from a crack in the road -

I wish I could explain to you

how it is that when I see

these things

I also see

a poem.

you can see poetry in life. That's a gift.

It's all around us, mate.

It's all around us, mate. People just need to look. But they don't, it seems. They see, without seeing.
