Perception
Perception is what we see
But
Is that actually reality?
Is there always more that informs
What
Is really going on?
Can we trust ourselves to know
Factually
Or
Wholly
The entirety of any given situation?
Or must we concede
Significantly
Truthfully
Conceptually
To the knowledge of our judgment's fallibility?
Due to lack of ability (no fault in us, time-bound that we are) to
Envision
Simultaneously
Each piece of the huge, multifaceted panorama?
We WILL miss something
For
We cannot see another's heart or mind no matter how we try nor how clever we are
We can but trust and hope and love...

Thank you very much, Gabriel, luv! :-*
You are absolutely correct! :-* Mayhap, without such eagle eyes, we can focus more clearly on what really matters, ne c'est pas?
I am so delighted you enjoyed this, mon ami. :-*

I think perception is subjective. You see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. And people make you believe what you want to believe. Life's a big show with a common stage and personal hidey-holes. Your poem is thought-provoking and insightful, Savaja. I always profit from your smart and deeply observational poems. Love them!

Chiyo, luv :-* ~
Thank you very, very much!
Perception is, indeed, quite a subjective thing I have found. This is why science and scientists sometimes amuse me, quite frankly. I do know they endeavor to build in ways to ensure objectivity, but any time we humans are involved then by default some subjectivity will creep in. :-p Ah well...
I am so very pleased you find something thought-provoking and worthy in my poems, luv. :-*
Thank you, again.

We WILL miss something ... So painfully true, we all do it and then let our own perceptions fill in the gaps as we would with no care for the truth.
Thank you for sharing this in my comp.
