Lifescope

You hold the scope
and have the power to shift your view
to places with beauty and warmth.
You hold the scope
and some see crystal, diamonds, and laughter.
Others taste fog, smoke, and tears.

You hold the scope
and have the power to shift your view
to places with beauty and warmth.

However, whatever you do,
you will have to step down
from the scope….
The child who is pulling on your arm
deserves the chance to experience the scope,
but beware of the view you give that child
because even when you step down
the view will stand,
relentlessly.

You hold the scope
and have the power to shift your view
to places with beauty and warmth….
