Perspective

A change in perspective 

Makes life less restrictive 

Opening the gate

To more than just fate

We are the authors 

There may be higher orders 

But day to day, we define 

Between joy and sorrow, the line 

Everything is beautiful

Sights are plentiful 

The eyes suffer poverty

They have lost clarity

The seed of perspective

Cannot be defective 

It is life’s mainsail

To navigate waters of travail

We know, what it takes

By not living like ingrates 

Catering to the mind’s wishes

We break real bridges

Perspective rebuilds some

Even one’s enough to become

An example, of life’s intention

That we enter a higher dimension

The correct perspective is the key

It is almost a guarantee

Nothing will be able to touch

The inner energies, won’t budge

__

A renewed sense of perspective

Comes when we’re introspective

It does not require any wealth

It can be done in quiet stealth

Whatever perspective we hold

It must make us free and bold

To pursue life’s main vocation

Happiness, in any situation

There are no books that teach

But experience is within reach

Of anyone who seeks to tame

Desire’s ever-burning flame

Time offers a ready perspective

There’s no mirror more reflective

It does not hide truth, however raw

It follows an unwritten universal law

With perspective, we may overcome

Challenges that make us numb

From cold winds, time may bring

To perspective, we must cling

A trusted foothold, we can depend

Perspective will help us bend

Weathering life’s many storms

They may come in swarms

Perspective is always ready

To hold us and keep us steady

There is one change we must make

Not to dwell on every past mistake
