Valley

Scattered, my thoughts, are they
and hidden my emotions
at dusk the darkness is cast
to the deepest of places

The shadows advance
as does the light
the direction of both
starkly opposed

Yesterday,
from the mountain's peak
could I see, the light
in fullness, surrounding me

My time, full, like pearls
cast before swine
an ear is made for listening
and an eye for seeing

But sight is not the only sense
to follow a bright light
yet ignore the mortar's blast
could injury ensue?

Wounds to bandage
is right still good?
Now what to do?
(an ear is made for listening)

Walking down
between the expanse, of the two
one dark
one Light

On the left
Light
the right
shadows

Shadows are my heritage
in them do I find
comfort, where?
in the mind

Today, the Light is more
entice it does, my heart
while the mind its pearls
and time have they realized

Oh, that these two
could marry
rather than hold hands
journeying that path

Heart left,
mind right
on occasion
does one pull its own direction

The bandages, have fallen
though have I noticed?
the eyes look right
yet the voice on the left

By what am I guided
or by whom am I led?
An ear is made for hearing
and the eye for seeing

Tomorrow,
do I stand in the day
and also at night?
the future awaits

Heart and mind
wedded and birthed
a soul in whom
both eyes and ears

That stands on the left
yet looks to the right
is not afraid of either
thus stands tall

Eyes that see
the pain in the darkness
yet ears that hear
the healing in the Light

Strength is in hearing
calling in seeing
Oh soul do not fail
for the mountain you shall see

Listen you ears
eyes may you open
for ears are made for hearing
and eyes for seeing.
