Poetry – Derek O'Kanos

Illuminate

Your light shines within you – even if you can’t see it.

Pay attention to that man behind the curtain.

We are all great and powerful.

Hindsight isn’t always 20/20

Cruising down the boulevard at dusk, driving hazardously.

Cognition: “the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.”

Using the power of perception to overcome adversity.

Finding yourself in the midst of your hardest times.

A look at the self, the other, and the journey.
