Mysteries of Awareness - v2

Can they see this, revelation, epiphany;
How do they really understand,
concepts that I would never have grasped
at their age, I am sure, able to see the
meaning of the acts, the gravity of the
coming day, in all our lives.

Where did they gain this insight,
this purpose, this clarity of vision?
Why am I so surprised by their joy,
their sharing of the wonder of the moment.
Who do I want them to be, to become
in their own right.

When will I believe it is real
that it is more than an illusion,
maybe when the shutter flashes
and the moment in its finality
is preserved forever, on the emulsion
on the sands of time.
