Approach
Come to me!
It seems to say.
Approach me,
Yet stay away!
The text is there
And I am here.
Meaning and truth?
Lies that delude!
Come to me!
The text says,
But not too close
Or you will stray.
We do forget
The power to see,
To see the work
As potentiality.
We do abuse
Of our ability
To see the work
As one reality.
Come to me!
It seems to say,
But I refuse,
I stay away.
I acknowledge
I'm in situ.
It doesn't mean
I can't see true.
But I refuse
On it to project.
I'd rather speak,
Listen, debate.
I'll go to you,
Do not worry,
But don't forget
That I too can see.
I am not blind
To your deceit.
I see right through
What is concrete.
I'll go to you
And blend with you,
But I'll remain
My own true self.
My approach
Is naught but fraught
With just concern
For both our ways.
This will remain
Until I'm dead.
Or so I think
And hope and pray.
