What Eyes May See…a gleaned soul sees more
The Gleaned Soul Sees More…
Eyes may see,
but the soul sees more,
in recognition of all that’s gleaned,
all that knows and seeks clarity,
as eyes often see what is wanted,
not what is there,
where a soul without bias
knows deceit, knows right,
even when danger or circumstances bite,
the souls sees truth.
Blinded we may become
to our own false perceptions,
see them as truth,
as reality wrapped like gifts,
yet the soul sees beyond the circumstance,
beyond history, truths and what’s learned
from the pain of recompense,
and if we listen,
listen hard to that inner voice,
that contradiction may save us from ourselves.
Eyes may see,
however truth is more than sight,
more than lessons, a change of plight,
as a soul is a collective
of all we’ve been and may be,
a seed nurtured
a soul in growth of its ascending nature,
and truths are not what we hope,
but what is deep within us,
the potential and limitless opportunity of being.

Very well stated thoughts, Tony. I so agree with this belief. Great work, my friend.
So pleased you agree and enjoyed my thoughts Phyllis. Take care.
I love all things written about the eyes and this is a great piece. Check this one out if you have a chance – http://www.thegypsythread.org/2016/06/10/oceans-in-your-eyes/
It’s my other site, the one filled with all the strange and fringe ideas that run through my head during the night.
I agree Ralph, the eyes windows to the soul. Love your poem, beautifully penned my friend. I too experience all manner of thoughts and ideas in the night. Many of my novels have begun in this way. Cheers!
Wonderful poetic thoughts Tony.
Much appreciated Rasma. Cheers!
