Reality
is to me
not what you
can see
can feel
can hear
can smell
can taste
it's your potential to go beyond that.
to see a flower as more than carbon-based atoms,
to see more than petals and a stem and pollen
to see a definition of beauty,
to see something that can have more use,
than it was designed for.
Reality
is like an onion
so many layers you need to peel back
before you get to the core
and yet,
so few,
ever even scratch the surface
and those who get farther
die, from suffocation
for reality surrounds us all,
like a smell
not a stench,
not a fragrance
but what you make of it.
