Shine
________

He shined his shoes with sympathy
For the laces he had never tied
As he polished the very thing that had bothered him
Way .. down deep .. inside.


Vitsec.

To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,

To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;

To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.

To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness

Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.

To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;

To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.

To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.
