How can you teach

How can you teach the eyes to see only what they are supposed to,
When all they have, is the vision of what they are not to see

How can you teach the mind not to think of what is proscribed
When the mind minds not the transgressions in its trance

How can you teach a heart not to dance to a cadence
When there is no control over the symphony of its beats

How can you teach the memory not to overwhelm the thoughts
When  hijacking  the senses becomes the favoured occupation

How can you teach the self not to tear to pieces 
When it consoles to have someone to piece you back together.

The Light

The lids open,
and let the sunshine in


they are reflected,
compassionate, warm and benevolent


it touches,
every soul it meets


fills with joy,
every heart that beats


with love,
the essence of life


the light,
that flows from your eyes.


Close them,
if you need to rest


only to open
again every single day

to brighten,
the day soaked in sunshine


with the light,
that flows from your eyes.
