To See Eye To Eye

In blindness there is no peace I walked in blindness Upon the earth in darkness For I only served myself. I walked in ignorance Upon the road of arrogance And I never saw your stance. I walked in judgment Upon the law of confinement But I never saw your detriment. I walked in doubt Upon a land in constant drought Longing for a water spout. I walked in fear Upon a path quite unclear That brought me to my knees. I opened my eyes to see Upon a wish to make a plea And I saw your eyes full of tears. I opened my eyes to read Upon the look of an anguished sea And I understood your story. I opened my eyes to stand Upon the will to hold your hand And found we can both mend. I opened my eyes to learn Upon the light of knowledge earned That a friend gained is a priceless return. I walked into your path Upon the hand of destiny’ s cast And I entered the garden at last. We walked into divine light Upon which our heart soars high Now we can see eye to eye. By CarolineCécile, Nov. 12, 2007.
