Perception's Window

Perception is like a window,
Through which we might know,
The world all around,
But perception is bound,
To the same limitations,
As windows have within situations.

For if the window is cold,
And come across something striking, hot, bold,
The window will fog over, opaque,
And the view we then take,
Into our eye,
May be untrue, a lie.

Or if it be bitter icy outside,
But warm and humid inside,
Then ice will encase,
And block out every trace,
Of what is truly out there,
Blinded by the hoarfrost of the lack of care.

But unlike a window,
I would have you know,
You can change your perception,
To not live a deception,
Deceiving yourself and your kin,
Living a lie again and again.

You can know the truth,
What is verity and sooth.
Be willing to open your mind,
And you will never be blind.
