“Take Cover”

It’s access that enables “Second sight”
(Or is it “First?” Whichever one is right) –
“Discernment” needs such access, but the thing
Is folks don’t want that ‘little bird’ to sing.

But give me access, then things change a lot –
That second (deeper) layer which we’ve all got
Comes into focus – much like double-view
I’ve had since shingles made my vision “Two”.

I joked around with Carol – spoke to ‘blank’,
As if mistaking duplicate in ranks
By shifting view from real to echo-life;
Was funny as an ‘echo’ of my wife.

Folks want us to believe in make-believe,
Which silly is – their effort’s like a sieve;
Or like a child in hide-and-seek – his bum
Sticks out, revealing hideout as the one –

In use – so too our efforts to pretend –
Just let us in, and we’ll soon echo end;
For only on reality’s the base,
For life sustained in storms for human race.

Thanks Lord for this.
