Four Eyes (Not Two)...

There are not two but four eyes
that the mind sees through
These are the eyes of
  To Me
  By Me
  Through Me
  & As me

Through the eye of To Me
the world happens to you
and you are at its mercy
Of course the world has
no mercy, and so you'll see
that you are its victim
in its reflections of your view

Through the eye of By Me
blame is cleared from view
and personal responsibility
becomes a magnifying lens
so that all you see is amplified
by your view of what you'd
insist that it all should look like

Through the eye of Through Me
the death-grip need for control
is released from ocular constriction
and the eye is cleansed with a
faith and trust in a larger view
so that what will happen can happen
and you can see it without glaring

Through the eye of As me
the heated friction derived
from seeing self vs environment
is soothed to a cool calm
as the eye relaxes its pupils
so that a larger view of both
the self's soul and the world as a whole
are harmoniously illuminated
by the very same constructing light

These are the eyes
that reveal the I's
behind their view

Here's looking at you...
