Perception

What do you see with your own eye?
What truth lies hidden- tell me, please!
And is there truth in what you spie-
when you perceive what your eye sees?

The eye sees light. And so- you see-
I ask to look with caution, please!
You just perceive reflections. We
are subject to a sensual tease...

The chair, the table or the wall-
they all reflect the sun's own light:
No more than that- and that is all
our eyes can see with mortal sight...

So what is real, and what is fake ?
And are you really sure, my friend ?
For truth is of a different make
than mirrors in illusion-land...

Hi Hek

You have sure hit the ground running since your debut on PC, congratulations on another super poem. This is a philosophical and reflective (forgive the pun) write.
