the whole world

I see the way I and others live, in a comp. diff. way.

Answer 2

With eyes closed,

ears listen,the words ring out,

with such submission.

I see through darkness,

time, running out,

My heart so bruised,

words I shout.

Then through the darkness,

comes forth the light,

warming,sunshine,

yet still no sight.

My story ends as it began,

there are no words

that I can Penn!

Eyes open,

Tear stained cheeks,

For I have seen

what my heart seeks.

Answer 7

When I 'see poetically,' I see just a bit farther, or slightly deeper.  While I'm sure that my 'poetic vision' is useful, I never have the sense that i see it all.  

Consequently, I'm rather skeptical of poetry that promises complete understanding---of anything.  But I don't object to poetry that sees beyond possibility, or poetry that posits a new dimension of possibility.  Even if the putative parameter of possibility is false-to-fact, it can be a balm, a pleasure, a respite from reality---and if it turns out to be true, the poem supplies a running start at accommodating the newly possible world.

Hello Brandy! This is a perfect poetic expression. I think you should look into poetsofmars.com. There is lots of space in our 2009 book.
