Borrowed Words

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Eye, an impartial mirror, through which 
we see things around as they are;
the quality of judging things it lacks in.
Heart as a testing stone, 
determines everything’s purity.
Feelings of heart are displayed 
on the screen of our eye.
Eye is blessed with the power of sight,
heart, with tremendous insight.
