Poem - perception of reality, how reality changes, poems by Richard Macwilliam

MY UNDERSTANDING

I lay in Shadow
And looked up at Perspective,
Fancied a Wash across a Watercoloured sky,
Studied Form, thought about Negative Space,
Noticed Reflection and the underlying Sketching
Of the Master's hand.

Hmm.

So the Universe can switch with a little education
From One Reality to Another.

Strange, strange, strange.

I have arrived at the beginning
Where there is no end,
And am seeing the world through the prism of my understanding,
Which is limitless
But clearly currently
Limited.

I was learning painting and suddenly realised that I was looking at the world in a different way. If only I could learn the billion things that are there are to learn on this planet and get a slightly better grasp of reality.

Here's a lovely poem by Alan Harris called Sanctuary Cove about rediscovering reality.
