Understanding is the payment, perception is the fee

I’m receptive to wonder

The Wonderment of our senses

I’m wonderstruck with what I see as beautiful

The beauty from within our own fences

Many are distracted

The essence of what true beauty really is?

To rely only on physical attraction

It’s like holding water with a sieve

How many times?

Will our ego’s deceive?

If we pay attention?

Will we revise what we believe?

To ask, what is beauty?

A question in philosophy

How many people can answer?

How many are left in ambiguity?

Some may learn  the hard way

Some may never learn

Some by example

Some will have to wait their turn

The knowledge we acquire

Cannot express the wonder we feel

It is only in how we live our lives

The wisdom of how we deal

if we look through a lens of falsehoods

How will the world appear to be?

Another fun house mirror?

Is that what we will see?

Distortion can come from dirty lenses

Distortion can come from unchecked ideology

How often do we clean the lens?

How often do we test our reality?

It must certainly be a gift

If we can clearly see

The wonder and beauty in life

Understanding is the payment, perception is the fee

If you wear your heart on your sleeve

If you wear your heart on your sleeve

Some people will cause you pain

The lesson to learn

Will not always be in vain

You might be more cautious

Build a wall around your heart

Not willing to allow yourself to feel

Not ready to make a new start

The protocols of relationships

Is certainly a learned skill

Some you will hit, some you will miss

We take it as it comes, no need to be still

The question most often asked

When do you reveal?

How soon you bring up your emotions?

Just exactly what you feel?

Patience and time are good teachers

You may experience regret

I can most certainly promise you

The pain was caused by the expectations that were not met

I for one have learned many lessons

I have usually worn my heart on my sleeve

And if I had to do it again

If you freely give of yourself, you should not expect anything from what you receive!

This is a reality

Most people do not want

The attachment of expectation

Comes in many forms that will haunt

I would still rather live to be genuine and feel

Then to hide away in my cave

In this case, the risk is much greater

Requirement is only to be brave

Just think how now what you can bring?

Woke up from a dream

With other characters I had in my head

But it made more sense

Of my own life instead

Do dreams, permeate language?

If you carefully observe the dream

What will it tell you about yourself? 

Just exactly what will it mean?

Can you see another perception of yourself?

Can you unlock another door?

Can you reveal another view of yourself?

That you have never seen before?

Can you decode this revelation?

Will you be able to remember?

If you dream in January

Will you know it still by December?

If you commit this to memory

Will you develop it summer, fall, winter and spring?

How are you better yourself?

Just think how now what can you bring?
