Love Poem: Perspective

Perspective

It's just 
how I look at the world
Whether I see color in rain, 
feel strength in a storm, 
or space to
quietly turn inward
 
It's just 
what I look for in the world
Whether I scan the darkness 
for hopeful light 
and then grab 
the outstretched hand
 
It's just 
how I color the world, 
what feeling I put first, 
with which eye I look and
which sound 
may resonate most strongly
 
And then it’s just
whether I open my heart, 
hear what love is telling me, 
let this permeate 
my being, 
listen to it sincerely
 
And if I then
allow my heart 
to color 
the world...
