Luncheon: The Boating Party
June 6, 2010
Conversations are secrets
Dangerous
Could cut you like a knife
They hide the true meaning of what something really is
Reality
Face expressions show emotion
Emotion shows life
Life could be fake
A total lie?
We believe what we see
So what do we see?
Do we see truth?
Do we see the sparkle in somebody's eyes
Or the burning that lies beneath them
Yet life brings people together
As a whole
No indivisuals
But we believe lies
Because they are hidden
And we believe in truth because it is shown
We believe in life,
And life is what we see

I love how this poem expresses the idea that things are not always what they appear to be.
