The Book of Wisdom

Within the mind of reason,
hides a hidden quelled verse.
Written in the book of wisdom,
but to the closed eye of ego cursed.

It's message couldn't be clearer,
to the enlightened open mind.
Universal answers seen in a mirror,
not the intellect's eye refined.

Close the eyes of living flesh,
read it with your inner soul.
Answers of the cosmos professed,
immortal age old stories told.

For those that seek it's knowledge,
glimpse it's treasured gilded verse.
But those that have a need to say I,
are blinded by egotism's curse.

    "closed eye of ego"...couldn't be more apt of an image! I like how this weaves the mystery of the artwork with the realities of shallow soul. As one
    can expect, the rhyme and flow are wonderful
    and smooth goes the journey down the page.
