THERE IS A MOON BEYOND OUR VISIBLE SPECTRUM


only the blind can see it-and children.Those damaged
by too much exposure to happiness,joy,calmness and contentment.
If you speak only of what you see,how discover the new?
Each day's difference exposes us to filmed images.
Memory records a few ,and mixes them up
so when we access birthdays of others,it is with a vagueness
we blame on age or illness.Most facts don't last.Opinions change
Even the skyline.Certainty is historic-ask Columbus-or black swans.
Once they believed in philogiston,and pineal glands,and third eyes..
Many still do.More watch horror movies as prophecies.
2012 has already been filmed for them.Disaster epics likewise.
Ideas are a stone soup -nutritious!More so with more ingredients.
Our diet changes as we age.So do we.What was intolerable as children
can be assimilated as we mature.Are children savants ?Are we wise to dream beyond ourselves?
Are there worlds outside our eyes-that tempt us with intuitions of Paradise?
Can we step into the invisible/and live our dreamings?
There is a moon...
