This is the last poem in the first volume of my poetry books (A RHYTHMIC VIEW).

This picture is mine as well. I took it from the roof of my job.

The poem is not the last one in the book by accident. It sums up how we… at least how I discovered the rest of… how, or why, I actually changed my life by really connecting to more reality than before.
The ‘clouds’ represent all of our exterior influences, which pretty much means absolutely every real thing you can think of outside of our mentality: TV, books, poems, movies, clouds, trees, people, ideas, beliefs, culture, society, food, drinks, dancing, singing, walking, talking, sex, driving, working, money… the list goes on.
‘We allow’ these outside things we sense to block us from the one genuine, all-important, and obvious truth of our lives… us… who we are, how we function, why we do it, our ability to change, etc.

The next lines about “an empty body, on an empty world, in an empty time” refer to how we live in ignorance of that one thing that means everything, and that we even allow ourselves to falsely assume the outside defines us instead. Most of us live our entire lives not even considering our own mentality/humanity. There is an emptiness about us and everything we do because of this tunnel-vision.

The line, “create a bond between the ends of our eyes”, means that if we do end up looking through all this outside influence, back to our selves, than it creates a connection between you and the outside like never before. It allows you to sense in a totally different way- without instant assumption and satisfaction. When you don’t live as though you are already settled into life, it gives you a reason to figure it out, to question and answer. This new, and recognizably ignorant perspective, can be scary. But it, and it alone, can be progressive as well. It can lead to new challenges, confrontations, questions, solutions, satisfaction, and actions.

We simply cannot change until we see a reason to. And when we automatically buy in to the world around us, we have no reason to look for anything else… but we are still there despite us.
