WHAT THE EYE WANTS TO SEE

by Charles Carreon

What the eye wants to see

            is curves.

Lines that come around to

            meet each other.

What the mind wants to feel

            is closure.

The sense that things conclude,

            come round,

            reach fulfillment.

What the ear wants to hear

            is rhythm,

            a pattern in time

to pace its passing and

            provide assurance of return.

With each beat we return,

            coming back to ourselves,

            back to here, this space.
