GLASSY EYES

The glassy-eyes of spirit fatigue

masked by the iris and pupil of the mind

to hide the cornea and sclera

protecting the soul

from too much cause and effect,

brought on by the ego

stumbling through the day,

looking alert but sound asleep

How opaque the glass of soul?

A matter of density,

the hardness of dream

into rock-solid reality

Soul glass is made

from the sands of time

burned by the heat of experience

into reflective or refractive looks;

a medium of awareness,

giving peeks into reality.

The better the glass

the clearer the looks,

the cleaner the view

through the dream

The wiser of beings

do superior glass making

Their acuity of consciousness

makes a better glass,

gives a larger mean free path

for the photons of spirit.

Their eyes allow in all the light

They wear no masks for protection

Set side by side with everyone else,

they are like glass to brick.”
