NOT REALLY SEEING CLEAR

We go through days, weeks
And even years, blinking,
Flinching from the light,
Closing our eyes to the sun
Trying to make sense of things
We gather brief glimpses of nature
But for the most part miss what
Is import ant and really matters
Our truth is within us and 
We do not ponder on the
Significance of this or of life
Until that occasional time
When seemingly out of the blue
A clear vision of it all comes to mind
So rare and hopefully beautiful
We dwell on this as we wait
For the tomorrow and 
That which is next in
Our vague and hardly aware life
