visible to me

I only see what I can perceive.
A limitation that hangs on me.
My sight only has far as observation
can reveal a situation
I watch as prey
the movements of the play
subtle language of the crowd
I decipher words spoken aloud
Yet in all the keenness of mind
I cannot yet find
that I really know what they know
or in which direction they will go
I can guess and even surmise
but the truth of human nature is a surprise
even to those who think themselves wise
