Pareidolia- A Way Of Perception Poem by Dr Hitesh Sheth
Pareidolia- A Way Of Perception
A depressed Guy
Was staring at sky,
Abruptly a form popped up
Assembled from
The lonely wandering clouds,
Appeared to him
Weeping inconsolably;
Suddenly, the warm joy welled up from within,
And the same clouds colluded to carve out,
A laughing form.
(Pareidolia is the phenomenon of finding familiar images in random scenes, like faces in clouds or religious icons in root vegetables)

How can I comment, What can I say? When it seems, as if Even I'm under the shadow - of Paradolia! Hitesh, you do have a A Way of Perception!
Very interesting. Is it because we are visual? Or conceptual? Probably both. And a need to act.
the poem truly shows your insight as a person who has a deep understanding of the human psyche.10 +
