MAKING SENSE

Some things don’t seem to make sense
And yet they’re right. You just feel it inside.
The intuition accompanies common sense
And makes it make sense from another side.
Life when seen through the heart’s full lens
Will reveal contexts that otherwise hide;
To a closed mind they appear like nonsense
But one day through facts they’ll be verified.
Some things that seemed to be an offence
Are an offence only to the rigidified;
Some that seemed real become pretence
When eventually exposed by time and tide.
