What do you mean
three pointing back at me?
How can it be
If I am the one who sees?
Or is it more true
to say I am the fool
believing it a tool
to be able to point at you?
What are we pointing to
whether at me or you?
Is the intent to find contempt
and something to rally against?
Or find a way to direct
a level of respect
for the elements
we hold with discontent?
What makes us perceive
or even believe
the things we label as peeves
are that which need to be relieved
and not merely weaved
into things to reconceive?
“You spot it you got it!”
So hard to admit
The very thing we want you to omit
Is within us . . legit
Instead of buying into the conflict
and a head that wants to quit
We can opt into a different realm
where standing at the helm
is the gem
of what is held
deep within our cells
Beating like a drum-bell
opening a door outside the hell
of thinking we must expel
the elements that compel
us to see ourselves
as less-than-perfect vessels
Our hearts hold the vision
A different kind of prism
Through which we envision
The qualities of opposition
as the avenues of an expedition
enabling us to become magicians
and metaphysicians
Transforming our peeves
and pointing us to what makes us free
