The Loving Eyes

The Loving Eyes

Cloyed and heavy the day has become,
A shock of decision, spiritual practice begun,
Won't turn back, follow will I this track,

Day by day a practice grows, slowly life into your vein flows,
Meditation done, calm elevated,
Book read, stress sated,

Further on,
Every morn',
Every night,
Early light,
Till darkness night,

I've done it! I've made it, pleasure! -gone the pressure, found a treasure!

Alight new trouble,
Burst the spiritual bubble,
The person again wobble,
A fearsomely topple,

Didn't work,
What's the point,
Back to scratch,
Lost the catch,

But the loving eyes see, that if persisted, known would be that FREE!

The inner voice that takes you over, make-believing you to be same,
And thus from the scale of what you could have been, now lame,
Chain will it your will, until all you can do is retire,
So it can rise ever on higher,

But the loving eyes see:

That It was then,

That It will be there,

...but never, NOW, HERE!
