Taking a chance at knowing the world through a blanketing reassurance.
\nSearching for the moment when I can honestly believe I have succeeded.<\/p>\n
Sweet insect crawling across the windows pane,
\nBursting steps upon a transparent world.
\nToo small to recognize your own reflection,
\nToo miniscule to appreciate the view captured through this frame.
\nCold, glass surface, continues.<\/p>\n
To understand the intricate parts of this living portrait,
\nEach factor an accomplishment
\nset out to be known by the years of attempts that came before.
\nSmiling eyed little wonders,
\nFair faced beauty with a gentle hand.
\nVerdant landscapes outside every window,
\nA room for every person,
\nAnd a table for us to share.<\/p>\n
This is the view I am too small to see.
\nFor every pity filled whimper locks my eyes
\ninto the view of the few feet of ground lying in front of me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
