it is dark in the background and fore.
it is there. not waiting, Watching. You.
the things You Are and Do.
it Sees and Smells and Tastes.
can you feel it? even in darkness, we can feel
with our Hearts and Minds; with our Hands if we kneel.
But this is you, not we. it’s for You to see.
Because when Shown we are Blind
and when Told, Unkind.
and when Told, Unkind.
