Plato's Valentine

Gradually one by one
we shadows may be able
to recognize our thoughts
are not of this world
 
this physical-mineral world
a personal experience
as fearful and decisive as
any sensual experience can be
 
to know one is chained
in Plato’s cave but to be writing
about it with a storyteller’s heart
one who has risen above the story
 
to that moment of encouragement
when you perceive yourself
as part of a realer realm
