The Inner Sight

Without the inner sight our vision fails,

For all is but appearances of form,

Our inability to part the veils

From outward show reduces to a norm

Of commonplace our knowledge of the world.

Yet moments dawn as in a crystal sky

Of visionary clarities unfurled

When we glimpse the unknown face of deity.

Nothing moves us more or wakes the light

So deeply as these truths our souls perceive,

When shed of ego's vain distorted sight

Our hearts prepare the godhead to receive.
