SeerSeen

Loving Duality in BodiesMind

At first glance of Seen

Despite eyes super keen

The Seer sees Seer 

Much less sees Seen.

The shadow of Seer, 

Unseer, becomes Seen

Feared and worshipped

In Other, the Queen.

Idealized projection

In large part, of course

But how else can love

Arise, perforce?

A brief respite from

A world of bleak in

Which Seer desires

The Seer's seeking

Desperately craving to

Possess Seen's substance

What Seer lost long ago:

A sea of abundance.

In shadow lies fear

Which never left Seer

Trauma scene smitten

Seer's Seen is fit in

Drama is ready fast

Unseen is typecast.

Basking in Seen

Seer feels scarce

An oasis of plenty's

A trap; a snare

When lost in scarcity

Or fear or loss

In disgust's refuge

Seen's aloft a cross.

Or does Seen seeing

Seer’s Unseer unsettle

Seer’s own ideal of

Seer’s white kettle?

Alone together’s lonelier

Than just being alone

When Seer’s not seen

It’s colder than stone.

A dialogue commences

From Seer to Seen

Objectifying slightly

Seen to Obscene.

Familiar at a distance

But strange so close

Seer recognizes in Seen

Where Seer has been.

Seer opens to Seen

Upon second glance

Unseen is admitted

Thus begins the dance.

The Seen and the Seer

Simultaneously seeing

Admiration and curiosity

Curiously commingling

The Seer and Seeker

Now one and the same

Exploring inner and outer

Space to reclaim

Orphaned parts of self

Surface and swirl

Over seasons innumerable

Seer’s judgments unfurl

And in one instant ever so clear

Seer sees more Seen than Seer.

True insight emerges

Whence blindness it came

Seer’s heart awoken

Seer’s spirit aflame.

Seen may never

Be perfectly seen

But Seer’s heart opens

To newness between

Neither here nor there

Neither Seer nor Seen

New paradigms afoot;

Learning can glean.

Idealism unseeded

True contact arises

Perspective alights

Courage surprises

Fantasy dissolving

A fairy tale emerges

All-seeing overseer

Enters hearts and urges.

Before the last glance 

Seerseen are blessed

Appreciate in difference

Still unity’s witnessed.
