Eyes of Truth
20 July 2006

The end, the beginning
where love and life meet
Yet would the twain find its way home
that place of hearts to dwell
as if happiness was more to delight

Lost in a wilderness of yesterday’s dreams
unable to control tomorrow in woe
Another child born to poverty
her heart captured beneath the moon

To see her in salience
each tear ripped from His side
At last an Almighty in gratitude
but was love going to be this conquest

A dividend of patience
every storm another reign to overcome
Her beauty, those eyes of truth
hands held in grace far beyond the stars



“And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Matthew 19: 5-6 KJV

I like it.  I got a bit confused but that's probably just me.  I can be quite the airhead.

It you think you are confused, so am I, and I wrote the poem to begin with.

For when it comes to poetry, it is a way to let those thoughts out, even thoughts that in their own way are an element of confusion
