Curtain of Deception

                                 Curtain of Deception

                         

              Once, back when i was young and healthy

              and everything looked beautiful and normal

              with only an occasional perception of some

              underlying darkness, i wished i could see

             All Life Clearly as it IS rather than as it Appears

              no matter how harsh, or unimaginable could be.

              However, i did not conceive of the implications

              of the limitations imposed by my ‘Physical’ capabilities

              not allowing me the full breath of “True View”

              Now, much older and with seriously ailing health

              and considerable loss of youthful innocence

              i find myself in a place where only few things

              appear purely beautiful at least initially

              but as i look deeper and behind the surface

              i see cruelty and unimaginable ugliness

              in practically every level of Life’s expressions

              and feel unable to escape  from this painful 

              imperfect and undesirable side of partial
              and perhaps deceptive reality .

                     How i wish i could alter 
              The thick Curtain of Deception?...
