See It, Feel It, Unknow It, Live It

The guilty eye flees
The remorseless never envies
The lying eye dawns truth's disguise
And blinks thrice before knowing eyes

The truth evades the seeking eyes
Ever searching the lofty skies
The lost eyes despise earthly laws
Rattling heaven's gates for a cause

Feel within the warm glowing light
That brace us 'gainst the swarming night
Where our gathered daemons lure us to fight
With meaningless notions of wrong and right

A rivers never chooses who shall drink
Honesty never takes time to think
In the moment, be one withal
Ready to catch us when we fall

Lay blame aside
And scornful pride
Even the pangs of the worthy life
For who decides what's worthy or strife?

To simply live
A humble life
Empty yet full
Dull yet wonderful
