"To Only See"

cji
3/19/99

Verse 1
********

It is nice to have help
to see what one should see;
for what one can see
and should be able to see
are often two different things.

Verse 2
********

Thus when another enlightens
your mind to the wisdom
of what you ought to know
it is wiser still to acknowledge
this gift of insight from your friend.

Verse 3
********

So when you beckon to me
to sit at your feet and listen
know I've come to not hear
but to feel so I can see
the world you need me
to understand to better be.

Verse 4
********

I've often wondered how far
I should be able to see?
But if I just am looking
not knowing what I'm looking for
does it really matter if I see at all?

Verse 5
********

So Master when I sit at your feet
allow not with ears to hear
or with my eyes just to see;
let me my heart feel the need
and my soul the heat you reveal.

Verse 6
********

You see to be able to see
is to be able to understand
what it is you need to know;
and to learn what this is
you have to learn to feel
the quiet whisperings
of the spirit in your
heart allowed to grow.
