we see
narratives of light
assume a story
design history
those who lived then
absorbed it and left
never to return
facts migrate
-we celebrate
or denigrate
residue of imagination
or vested interests
-bury old stories
for you don’t have options
or power of visualization
write new tales
on white sheets
un-silhouetted by
peace and positivity
change perspectives
change the prospects
the future will thank you
in retrospect
if they see your
positive intent
light changes
-surfaces decide
narratives
-viewers choose
versions that project them well
silhouttes – compressed truth

Wonderful reminder to live a noble life! 🙂

This is so good, Reena. Beautiful.
I love the call to ‘write new tales’! So inspiring. I wish those who have the potential to contribute positively to our common history would come forward.

The guiltiest in the world are those who have the power to act, react or contribute in a positive way, but don’t do so.

I like the sense of agency, we are not just a passive viewer of life, but someone who can influence perspectives, prospects, and ultimately the future🙌

If the future cares enough to heed our directions 😂 … But yes, certain systems can be set that are free of hatred.
