-- Seeing the Unseen --

John Herlihy

The mystery of the Unseen still haunts,

Beauty seen in human eyes still taunts.

Visions of the third eye to unveil the mystery,

Revelations of the inner eye, the eye of certainty.

Hidden within every leaf and every blade of grass,

In every flower petal that garden flowers amass.

The waves of the ocean rise to magisterial heights,

The wind bends the sacred oak tree within our sights.

Infants see sweet angels ride the wings of butterflies,

Children chase shadows to light the lanterns of fireflies.

So many mysteries in the world that keep us guessing,

So many questions in the world that need addressing.

The answers lie in unseen realms visible thru belief,

Certainties made manifest that offer humanity relief.

Beyond death’s door, the light of “this world”, extinguished,

Replaced by the light of the “next world”, distinguished.

The veil will be lifted from their eyes, their sight keen,

To see with the eye of certainty and know what things mean.
