on my back staring at the ceiling

from the ground
the ceiling looks so much wider
from the ground
its cracks seem much finer

the paint peels -
minute flags, off-white surrender;
the paint peals -
egg shells of heavy footed plunder...

revelation fall free
on this soul that has been bound
revelation fall free,
release this pretender from the ground

Such a unique way of looking at things.
This is clever and insightful.
A prayer of vision where sight is at one and the same time both
a revelation and a conscience.

Yes from further away things appear better. It's like mindfulness I suppose. Very nice.

An amazing contemplation and prayer. I especially like " minute flags, off-white surrender"
