To Know without Knowing

Our mind's eye
The soul we carry
The life that beats within

To our eyes
The world's play of light and darkness
Is all we see

To our own soul
The bliss flows forth
Only from within

To our life
Our experience carries us
To the horizon

We see so much beauty without
How many years it takes if at all
To see the beauty within

We proclaim the soul's grace
But we scorn the body's ways
Though it gives us so much

We pretend to know our lives
Pretend the things we have are life
And missing life in the process

Which do we cherish most
I do not know nor do you
The depth of this question

To see with our eyes
The beauty of the body
That is true sight

To feel our souls
Are not ours
But a piece of something more

To experience the life
Within and without
Beyond the lies we tell ourselves

To grasp the truth within
To grasp the truth without
To know without knowledge
That is the freedom we have
