when will we see?

Many people don’t look up. They look down or straight ahead. Looking down to avoid others. Looking straight to have a sense of purpose. Looking down to bask in misery. Looking straight so you see nothing. Always looking, never seeing. But no one looks up. No one sees up. No one notices the clear, blue sky above us. No one notices the little miracles just above our heads. No one notices the beauty of a simple cloud. The strength of a single branch. The fragility of a tiny icicle. No, no one looks, no one sees, but they should.
