spool of siloam

how do you 
see it, friend
are you with
me or am 
i with you ?


what is the
answer, brother
did you lose
a boot or 
did you find one?


how do you
paint the stripes on 
zebra, neighbor?
black on white 
or white on black?


it's all in 
how you see it, friend
i see, you see
i know, you know
what i mean

  7. "Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
    Fled is that music-- Do I wake or sleep?"

  8. I wonder if a dip in the pool of Siloam offers perspective as well as sight; your spool of Siloam certainly brought insight.

    Beautiful, Rene.

  11. Perspective is everything. Open perspective is priceless and wise and maybe the secret to a happy life.

    Love this piece. Thank you!
