Can you see
What’s not there
Hidden by preconception
Lost in the shadows
Of false belief.
From a painting
Emerging,
From a photo
Exposed,
From a poem
Unfolding,
From an ember
There in the ashes,
A truth not vanished
Waiting for you to stir,
Maybe to kindle
If you dare ask,
For forgiveness
That you never
Even looked to see.
