Observations
The shadow of this world
felt and lived
by the palpable soul
by the other me
that lies deep within
vocal with speech
the energies of action
and the energies of thought
experience transformed
into eloquence and wisdom
at least that is the desire
all fear dissipated
fear of being oneself
life moments culled from the air
by the angel of wisdom
thoughts of the mind
raised and transfigured
truth incorruptible
the ebb and flow of the sea
desire and satisfaction
day and night
all nature in undulation
from mulberry leaf
to the finest silk
thought is function
character above intellect
to observe the demands
of our task
to catalogue the stars
of the human mind
John Lyons
