Feel what you feel

Feel what you feel
See what you feel you can see
Look for what you cannot see, but someone you trust can
Try to feel what you cannot, but others say they can.
Form it gently, let it grow
When you feel
you can see the thread,
Pull gently on a single delicate strand.
When it breaks, pull another,
until it all lies before you.
Warm it, pull again,
until the form comes whole in one try.
If you are a logician, your have your proof,
If a musician, your song.
But it may even be just this satisfaction,
"That's the best bowl of chili I've ever tasted!"
