If My Eye Be Single
If Thine Eye Be Single
It shall be full of light. (Mathew).
Thank you Father for your mercy
For in it lies my longing hope
To stay the cold cold sea
Of my chaos prone imaginings
Imaginings that holiness deplores
That I both love, despise
That so enslaves my freedom
Seducing me to see with double eyes.
And yet I believe the son will rise
And burn to ashes strewn the foe
And melt to dying mist the abyss
And singleness of sight I’ll know.
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
