"The mind is a flexible mirror"......adjust the mirror, see a different world.

 

Raise your gaze higher

 

Every now then, raise your gaze,

from the little things that bug you,

those thoughtless words that stub you.

Look up, look forward, look into,

what possibilities awaits a fresh new view.

 

Every now and then, raise your gaze,

and follow the flight of a common starling or a busy blue-jay,

with eyes like a child, let your imagination run wild,

and watch as horses, and unicorns gallop across the unfolding sky.

 

Every now and then, raise your gaze,

and look deeply into someone's eyes;

no matter how clever and profound a disguise may be;

in the eyes, hides our deepest verite.

A split second connection, a wordless expression,

more precious than all that glitters then fades,

ours for the taking, ours for the making,

when we care to lift our gaze.

 

Every now and then, raise your gaze,

and count the stars that come out each night;

to sparkle, to shine, to dance, to take flight.

Gaze upon the moon, a quiet sphere of light;

shimmering, glimmering, a glorious sight.

 

Every now and then, raise your gaze,

from the everyday and ordinary,

the common place and elementary,

the safe and the sedentary,

and gaze with eyes, the eyes of a visionary.

 

Every now and then, raise your gaze,

because no matter where you are, near or far,

big or small, short or tall, rich or poor,

we can all raise our gaze if we truly want.
