Two Eyes

~~~

You have two eyes

But I only a pair

Yet, how different we see

The world that we share

~~~

Colored by things

We do not understand

Makes the shared view

Seem two different lands

~~~

If the only truth

Is what we each see

Then a dichotomy stands

Where none should there be

~~~

Narrowed owned views

The margins erase

And logic is skewed

Understanding replaced

~~~

I may never see

The world through your eyes

But that doesn’t mean

We can’t compromise

~~~

Not seeing somethings

The way that you do

Does not make anything

You see be less true

~~~

And what I perceive

Unshared in your view

Does not make anything

I see be less too

~~~

You have two eyes

And I have a pair

Help me to see

The world that we share

~~~
