“We See Now” is the first full articulation of altered perception. Nothing external has collapsed. The sky remains. The ground remains. The garden stands. But sight has changed.
Adam’s verse confirms the shift. The wind moves, but rest is gone.
“Every shadow feels defined.” The world has not darkened. It has
sharpened.
The sky is the same
but it feels too wide.
The ground is the same
but I want to hide.
The air hasn’t changed
but it touches my skin,
Like it knows what we’ve done
from the outside in.
The leaves still move,
the wind still stays,
But nothing rests
the way it did yesterday.
Every shadow feels defined,
Every silence feels designed.
We see now.
We see too much.
We feel the space
between each touch.
We see now what we couldn’t see,
A fracture running quietly.
The garden stands but something bends,
A distance no one comprehends.
We see now what we chose to know,
A weight beneath the undertow.
The light still shines, the sky still blue –
But it looks back
through me and you
Measure.
Witness.
The ground still answers
but not the same.
It holds the truth
but it knows my name.
The air still moves
but now it sees.
There’s nowhere left
to disappear in trees.
We see now.
We feel the seam.
Nothing is simple
as it seemed.
The garden stands but something’s torn,
A quiet grief in what was born.
We see now what we chose to hold,
A truth too sharp, a light too cold.
The world remains – unchanged, in view –
But we are not
who we once knew.
