Inaudible, Unseen

the soul has eyes,
                                   more visionary than visual,
                                            that see through
                                 dark caverns of pretensions
                                               where hollow, 
                                  hypnotic hypocrisy resounds,
                              which, to the eavesdropping ear,
                                               is completely

                                                  inaudible;



                                           the soul has ears,
                               more sensuous than sensory,
                                                   that hear 
                             the faintest throbbing of life itself,
                                            there in the blood,
                                   vibrant, visible in every vein,
                               which, by the most watchful eye,
                                               is completely   

                                                    unseen.
