Very Subtle Way

I write these words from my heart, just to say to you,
that in this world, many things are not true.
 Our eyes can deceive us, as we’ve been deceived,
not everything was right, just as we believed.
 There are those who do things, without choice,
they are seen by others, with out voice.
 Always be gentle, always being kind,
no matter what situation in life that you find.
 Its time for yourself, when you’re alone, you see,
replenishing, everything, drained from you and me.
 Solitude, and peace, quiets a beating heart,
while yielding and surrendering do there very part.
 Be careful of how you see yourself, no matter who you are, I say,
Our own eyes can deceive us, in a very subtle way.
