Quandary

Behind this glass, I can see
the world painted surreal for me
a Bright and Flawless paradise
a visual glimpse of poetry

I behold the beauty in this scene
and absorb the essence of this dream
a palette of colors blended perfectly
a canvas filled with Love for me

And do I dare to venture near
thru this PAIN that keeps me here
a portal for my eyes to see
a burden for my heart to bare

...and risk the loss of essence here
by seeking someone Real to care
a quandary for my mind...so bare
a miracle for which my heart can't see?

Or do I opt for safer fare
and choose to live life thru a stare
behind this screen where I can see
but
distanced from reality
a dream of Love so perfectly
a Love unmarked by hapless Me?
