how do you see?

 

We see with more than just eyes.

We see through echoes and pauses

the places where words falter 

and emotions speak instead.

We see in the weight of silence 

                   after truth is told. 

 

We see, not just the image 

but the intention behind it.

 

The ache behind the strength. 

The hope buried in pain. 

The longing for transformation 

          etched into every line.

 

Neville’s poem doesn’t ask for sight alone

         it asks for perception. For feeling. 

For bearing witness to what isn't easily named.

So if we answer honestly: 

 

we see with empathy. we see with listening. 

we see with the part of us that doesn’t 

       need answers to recognise a cry.

 

How do you see?

If you're game to explore more, 

        maybe we create a duet 

two ways of seeing, side by side.
