Do you see?
Do you see?
Don't cast a wandering eye
which captures nothing
You will see nothing
if your mind is preoccupied
Stop and stare and observe
fix your concentration on seeing
Do not allow yourself to be
a train window with life flashing by
All that can be seen has merit
even the dull and ugly
We learn more by seeing about us
than by transient thoughts
A leaf, a bird, clouds and people
are rich in their spiritual wealth
By seeing light and darkness
is to possess a new understanding
The eyes are the windows of the soul
and the vessels of knowledge
in this passing life

'and the vessels of knowledge in this passing life'
I particularly love this closing line which i think wraps the piece up nicely
Nice one Keith
