It is a true state of ecstasy,
to see each person
as s(he) ideally sees self.
It is most fulfilling,
to be free of baggage,
when looking upon
even the most attractive
of women.
This is how real progress
is made,
in solving the issues
that most need solving,
rather than constantly
rehashing issues
which mankind ought
to have resolved,
ages ago.
Let this month
of celebrating love,
be rooted
in celebrating the
whole person.
An interesting commentary on the opposing meanings of “ecstasy!” Man (and woman) is a creature of self — it is most difficult to resolve issues of selfishness! Your poem expresses this very well!
