Symbols

What are your symbols?
What do they define?
Are they portions of reality?
What is on your mind?
 
     A sound,
          An image,
               A number,
                    A theme.
 
What are your symbols?
What do they define?
Are they portions of reality?
What is on your mind?
 
     The future,
          The past,
               A village,
                    A path.
 
What are your symbols?
What do they define?
Are they portions of reality?
What is on your mind?
 
     A figure,
          A note,
               A picture,
                    A dream.
 
What are your symbols?
What do they define?
Are they portions of reality?
What is on your mind?
 
     A life,
          A rhythm,
               A poem,
                    A line.
 
What are your symbols?
What do they define?
Are they portions of reality?
What is on your mind?

Kevin Vanderhoef

Symbols are the perceived reflections of reality by which we manipulate the universe.
