Made to Fit
Growing out of the dark earth
an eye was made to fit the world.
It was a faulty eye,
a crude eye,
designed to filter out more
than it let in.
That eye had to be equipped
to survive the dark
both far and near.
Yet, like most evolving creations
it began to see the wholeness,
it began to make as yet,
invisible connections.
Then of a sudden
a mind-mirror awoke,
and it began to outshine
even the sun itself.
