Laguna Blue

The lie is not for others,
     It is for you,
As a part of the truth,
     Indissoluble,
As when the unearthly pearl 
     At days end
Extends from the shore to the sun,
     One can see
Its blue in the windows watching 
     Across the cliffs.

Which is true, which is false
     Can be known
But only by discerning, letting
     The expression
Play out in pantomime,
     The opposing
Is all adoration 
     As it tricks 
Itself out as the truth,
     With a blue
Worthy of our admiring,
     But we never do,
Eyes fixed at the shore
     Facing an end.
