Page 372 An Eagle Eye Within All Humanity
The proclamation of all passion within the soul of the survivor, everybody
Sometimes aflame
Sometimes a deluge
No greater range or scope in existence than this pair of twos
You and I, me and you
Weighed upon these is all humanity, we
Heralded for bringing together hearts in this terrene macrocosm.
If we are inattentive towards one another,
If our eyes are inattentive to each other,
Whatever the lips declare;
By that, reality cannot clear the inhered insolence.
Eyes recognize truths and show distress upon falsehoods.
Dearest, make sure never to rule out a stranger’s stare, fright.
My Dear One, in this world, most noble are the eyes
Theirs and ours, in one great tandem!
