These Eyes

With these eyes, These mundane eyes, Less I can see, Much I can't comprehend, I'm by a stream, I fetch according to my vessel's size, Water falls, It's music I'm left alone to decide, I'm given a voluminous book, I'm asked to read between the lines, A parchment unfolds before me, Its words are deep mysteries, Wonders to my sight, I need to fight, I need to quest, To search out its meaning, I'm in a world, That doesn't show all, A tutor that doesn't teach all, Some say it's an absurdist world, I'll say it's a mystery ball I'll walk through each dawn's door, Anticipating heaven's light.
