Perceptions Poem by Md. Asadullah

Perceptions

Rating: 5.0


When sun was shining bright.
I went into the field of corns.
There I saw a tree very large.
Filled with flowers and thorns.

Changed eyes with man on left;
And then carefully saw the tree.
Flowers could not be spotted.
Only thorns appeared to me.

Changed eyes with man on right;
And then carefully saw the tree.
Thorns could not be spotted.
Only flowers appeared to me.

Was that tree really a tree;
Or kind of magic in disguise.
Was that tree really changing;
Or twas due to changing of eyes?

Change eyes with left or right and then learn and perceive. Learning and perception are just like two sides of a coin. Magic perception depends on learning. Very mystical, philosophical and excellent poem shared on management of mind.

Everything depends on how we perceive things. Two men looked out of the prison bars, one saw mud, the other saw the beautifulblue skies! A great truth unravelled through this poem!
