We have learned to keep our heads down
To pay attention to what is right in front of us.
The peripherals don't matter.
A valuable lesson that has saved the lives of many,
and is the key to success for all.
But in our necessity required focus
we lose ourselves to single-mindedness.
Forgetting that there is much beauty
hidden in the corners of our eyes.
Colours, shapes, and creatures we were once
familiar with as a child
hovering just out of view,
waiting for us to look up
and see the world for the beauty that it is.
