    The Deepest Part of Me
    What I see
    blindly pleas
    what I smell
    does compel
    me to believe
    that all
    of consequence
    is physical.

    What I hear
    does endear
    what I touch
    pulls much
    my heart toward
    all that
    my senses tell
    is material.

    What I taste
    gives feast
    what I feel
    makes real
    to my soul
    that all
    I consume
    only matters.

    What blindness!
    What deafness!
    What blandness!
    What madness!

    I failed to perceive
    the deepest part of me that
    reaches beyond
    body, soul, and mind
    touches eternity and divinity.
    It is my awakened spirit.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
