What do you see
When you look, but
Do not
Actually
See me?
Is it the shadow
Of what you believe
You ought to
See,
Or the reflected
Image
Of what you wish
You could
Be,
Or what you think
I must be
In order
To be visible
Enough
To be verified
As me?

Good point that we just need reality to be visible enough to identify it.

And for those who see, to have their eyes open enough to know when what they see is what they wish to see and when it is what there is to see … Thanks Frank!

I wonder if we ever see what’s really there… reminds me a bit of Plato’s cave… what we see is merely shadows of what’s real

Yes, what we see is limited by what we are able to perceive … in more ways than one …
