ELEVATED EYES

 

Should the sweetest part of life

Be hidden until the end?

Should we hold on to suffering

As if a loyal friend?

            Allowing emotions to break off

            The massive fog bank

            Of negative thought.

            Letting the entrails of mist

            Cloud over clarity itself

Rather, seek the mind

Ask it to obey

Try to remind it

That we all must fade away

And that while we are here

We best work together

To leave some betterment

Some aid or assistance

Something given from the heart and mind

            A sympathetic ego may suffice

            Immersed in focus

            On the subtle force

            That brings about good

            That lights a mother’s smile

            That elevates eyes

            As they seek the divine

            Some pure instinct

            That makes us survive

            And do it together

            For more secure and fulfilling lives

Down on us he showers love

God is the source

Most direct and pure
