Gnosis

I swim in the vast ocean of mind and 
plumb its depths for treasure 
The pleasure is all mine as it exercises 
my will to be great 
Many covet life's precious jewels but aren't 
willing to give what it takes in return 
I've learned that nothing is free in this game of 
life and high stakes
The price can make or break a man depending 
on his perceptions reach
High science is a vault that can never be breached
by the mind of a layman
You can climb Jacob's Ladder high into the sky 
of a mind by saving life
Heaven awaits atop the stairs like a loving and 
faithful wife
Just & true are the words being spilled from the
hermetically sealed
The sight of such truths can blind a man with eyes
that don't see & can't feel
Giving faith to those who didn't previously believe 
in what's real
