POEM: Precious Perspective

This was written to the art below, the featured image on this week’s CPC Simple Sunday Picture Challenge.  Titled “man who lives on a cloud,” it is by German artist Farbenfrei.

PRECIOUS PERSPECTIVE


From skyward Politzai’s domains,
the swinging sling his seat retains.
Both stirred and shaken by the sight
of surface lit by bright Sol’s light.

Beyond the pale where stars alight
lies unknown space evoking fright.
But down below, life is defined;
both good and evil underlined.

In formal outer layer dressed.
No one in sight to be impressed.
except the one suspended high
above sweet Mother Nature’s sigh.

Is such a perch a wisdom tooth
to guarantee judicial truth?
Perspective such as He may use
to exercise pure wisdom’s muse.

Would that we mere mortals could
from up beyond, see what we should
And from that knowing, preserve peace
for all souls until life’s release.
