“How I See” by Robbie Cheadle

Into the Light: Elephant, a painting by Robbie Cheadle

How I see
And how you see
Will differ
How much we differ
Will depend
On how you view
What we both see
Versus how I view
What we both see
That same scene
Could be interpreted
By you
In a most literal
And straight forward way
You could take the path
Well-worn by the majority
And embrace it
As your own
I, on the other hand,
May choose to take
A unique approach
Demarcated by difference
The one chosen by few
Or even none other at all
Where you see mild damage
I may see calamity
Where you see death
I may see a new beginning
Where you see straight lines
I may see soft curves
Of great hope
Does this make me wrong
And you right?
If I stand alone
And you concur with many?
Or is there still room
For differing interpretations?

      It’s my honor and pleasure, Robbie! And today, another poem of yours about elephants is up on MasticadoresUSA! That wasn’t planned, but I like the synchronicity.
