Open Your Eyes

Open Your Eyes

A Poem by Footprints al carbon
"

Perception and life after all, is what we all are seeking.

"
Adventures in the heavens await
Endless deep desert below sea
Cause and effect can't explain it
Answers should be conclusively

Plant one foot firmly in motion
Another rises in time far above
That moment is meaning in passing
Some miraculous passion of love

After what to be seeking in darkness
Confounding occurrence of being
When natural worlds all around it
Collapsing with a quickening flee

Claim the child's perception
Of unlimited universal truth
Embracing when each to find it
A cosmic and spectral uncouth

Precision and focus are lacking
Aware of only what calls
Wandering out of the familiar
Where forward perpetually falls

Threats will yearn to deliver
A mind for a pulverized sphere
For a purpose becoming delightful
Supply the imagining seer

Feverishly searching  for shedding
The marvelous joy from within
In light those things are ample
Which genius could never begin

Having developed a time and a lesson
A faculty of knowing the fool
With greedy effects of the fateful
Death's slipping mouth and its drool

Time is a teacher who never
Is brutal on reminding of form
O humanity something is being
Embroidered on the garment of norm

A wretch even more so a comic
Accepting the tragedy of breath
Imposing ideal understanding 
Accepting the destiny set.
