Mind’s Eye

Neither darkness nor dreaming is needed
for mind’s eye once spirit is heeded.
Panoramic illusions, and epic experience,
become fused with reality, new sentience.
Capacity, and desire pure of ego need,
create acceptance of fruit from such need.

When any of us gathers isolation unto us,
it’s a guest that keeps emotion from fuss.
But do we always know why we are strong?
At times we only know seeking’s not wrong.
We know spirit as adds more sense reality
reveals to us the adventures of duality.

We exist apart, yet we are much the same.
We know something of power, money, fame...
we experience some joy, wisdom, in beauty.
Our lives are determined by sense of duty.
Choose truth or choose lies is definition.
To seek knowing the difference, erudition.

Our wisdom’s found beyond sensing another:
we find conviction helps everyone brother.
Strength is translated, mind’s eye born
when we do as see right, live not forlorn.
Living not separateness even when alone...
our capacity for knowing more than shown.

Heeding spirit, discover mind’s eye...
learn to live sense, to give spirit a try.
