The Anguished Heaven

I see now, clearly, how I fail to see myself. A conundrum, exemplified for me by others that I feel overlook their own particular significance, their own unique message, which if turned to, turned on...

But it doesn't happen. Or, if it has, the experience seems to leave one clinging to the effect long past the meaning of the original manifestation...grabbing at the shadow of a past reality.
