These Eyes

What these eyes have seen before 
What many loves did they adore 
How many lives and incarnations 
Are worthy of my contemplations.

Seeking to use the inner eye
We take a risk and roll the die
But life is not just a game of chance 
Heed the call of the Lord of the Dance.

We are loved by heaven and earth 
If we could only realise our true worth 
And with our loving eyes may yet see
How near a heaven on earth can be.
