72.) Hard The Way From One Form Of 'Seeing' . . .




            Hard the way, from one form of ‘seeing’ to another
When the way forwards seems backwards:
Out from bright light eyes see not in dark
They first are blind where they seek to see

As with the passing of time eyes adjust to dark
So truth’s own surprise will come only slowly
Where we are turned about and faced
The other way

It is distance that lends enchantment
Soft blurrings of piercing lines makes beautiful
Else, we are too fiercely faced with the sting of truth
And we only run away
