My Mind Is Far From Narrow Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Certain images revealed to express,
You and others may not accept.
Few do when something new,
Comes into view to be introduced.
And yet, like all things inspected,
The day comes when you and others too...
Learn to accept what has been expressed.

Nothing comes to exist until it is noticed.
Making life to experience fresh.
Although some rejection is expected.
Like steps first to take without falling,
Seldom prevents one...
From successfully walking.
To then talk about how it had been done,
With others already achieving it to believe...
What had been accomplished is not one's own.

Certain images revealed to express,
You and others may not accept.
Few do when something new,
Comes into view to be introduced.
And yet, like all things inspected,
That becomes ordinary and part of life...
Many then become protective,
As if to disbelieve...
What they accept had at one time,
Been rejected.

'Remember those preferences you had,
Before we met?
I remember to me they were expressed.
As if you were trying to impress me.
What happened to them? '

~I expanded my beliefs,
That day I walked into a tree.
To know it was you in my view,
Who had changed all my perceptions.~

'Oh?
So 'now' you confess it? '

~If I begged you to accept me,
You would have thought of me to be a fool.~

'No. Not really.
Remember...
I came to you to ask if you were okay.
You should know by now,
My mind is far from narrow.'

~And...
What is 'that' suppose to mean? ~
