EPITOME OF ME

Lest the eyes see, 
The crystal drops in me.
How long can I be
Like a narra tree?

Lest the ears can hear,
The whispers in me.
How is it near
Like the waves of sea?

Lest the lips can speak,
The words in mind I keep.
How is it I'm weak,
I can't stand on my feet?

Though mine eyes can't see,
Ears can't hear,
Lips can't speak,
All amongst me;
There's one Above
Who knows my heart within!
The heart thus sees,
And hears, and speaks...
Hope in faith begins.
