Perceptions and Perspective

Perspective changes perceptions,

angles can humanize angels,

but they can also hide deceptions

and provide misconceptions

about the world's distorted truth.

Looking at horizons from above

makes all you know seem so small,

and so you question what you love

and you feel the need to move and shove

away the landscape you know so well.

Looking at horizons from below

makes all you know seem so out of reach,

and so you question if you really know

how to reach the Sun's bright glow

without burning your stretched fingers.

Looking at horizons from afar

makes all you know seem to be in place,

but you still question why you are

not clutching on to your favourite star

and have that perfection within your grasp.

Perceptions change perspective

so view the world in a rose tinted hue

for our beauty is subjective

but its happiness is infective

and will shine onto us in the most flattering light.
