Trying to see someone clearly for who they are.
Accepting what is still not confirmed.

Giving the ghost of a loved one your words despite the uncertainty of their presence,
Restlessly reaching to grab hold of what is not there.

Breathing in the cool, clear morning air.
Wind whistling through the trees.
Invisible sound waves moving through open space.

Clear plates for the hungry and homeless.

Air thins as we approach the thermosphere
Leading to uncertainty.

This piece was written to point out that even though you may not be able to see things, it doesn't mean that they aren't there. Some of the things that we value most are, as a matter of fact, clear.

God gave us two ears to hear, two eyes to see and two hands to hold. But why did God give us only one heart? Because he wants us to find the other one.
