Only Half

Only Half

by Bud Lemire on Feb 4, 2006

All of what life can be

Is only half of what you see

Half is what is shown to you

Your eyes see what comes through

But your senses can pick up more

Parts of the other half you can't ignore

Two halves merge to become one whole

Which makes us complete, the human soul

The soul...the spirit, sees so much

That goes beyond the physical touch

It's the senses we all use to feel

Many say it goes beyond what's real

Every living thing that grows

Spiritually is aware and knows

Although they can't communicate in words

Just like the chirping of the birds

The tree so beautiful, with branches so high, and silent

I wonder if it's through the roots, where messages are sent

So much is there, that we don't know

To learn and understand, is for us to grow

How we treat other living creatures here on Earth

Is how we are rated spiritually of our own worth

All of life is so much more to me

And it's Only Half of what I physically see
