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.
