A painting by Paul Klee connected us
I’d never seen the abstract use of space
I felt myself more open and unearthed
All beings floating in this spaceless gaze
Perhaps they float like we did in the womb
They pass across like fish pass in the sea
The more ,I looked the more it touched my depths
And knew this was a place where I could be.
In our life of feeling ,seeing true
Matters more than IQ or high speed
It’s judgment,taste ,and feeling all refined;
Perception and response to others’ need
So images that at first alarm the mind
Transform our souls till we are humankind
How my heart sings
