Eyes That Quest

Man's eyes see what is visible, 
not the things that are viewless; 
Alluring lakes and rivers
overflow with water of gladness.

Tired eyes though don't enjoy 
the beauty and wonder in sight; 
Amazing scene in front 
fades into the shadow of the night.

Quest for the most elegant place, 
Using not the sense of sight; 
Ever beautiful promised land
offers undying delight.
