Blindfold Lifted Poem by David Harris
Blindfold Lifted
Once the blindfold is lifted,
we see things as they really are.
There are no crimson castles
guarded by George’s dragons
or other creatures of our myths.
Just ordinary people doing ordinary things.
There are no doorways that when you open them
you dropp into imaginary pits of insanity.
There is however minds filled with sickness
and demented thoughts
that fire them to do monstrous things.
When the blindfold is lifted,
we see things for what they are worth
and that can be scarier
than what is dreamt up within an author’s mind.

Clear thinking and clear seeing. I like the perspective here David. There is nothing wrong with having a vivid imagination as long as both feet stick to the ground. Best Steve
Reality can lift the lid off many a thing that fantasy would hide.....nice write David
I used to live in illusion but thank God I was disillusioned. Better the reality you see than the fantasy that you think you see.
Blindfolds are some potent symbols of unconsciousness perhaps and removing it would seem to be a revelation at the least. (smile)
and that can be scarier than what is dreamt up within an author’s mind. ......................................................................... Is right, also It is pleasant to me that you remind us... about reality..10... All the best, Tsira
