The lens that gives new meaning

Awareness, it ends mind’s scheming

Squeezing the sweetness out of life’s pulp

The mind wishes to swallow in one gulp

Vision is defective without awareness

The eyes lose their natural sharpness

Blunted by the blows of past emotions

Triggering waves on the inner oceans

Dawn of awareness, it’s more than a milestone

Where we don’t bemoan being alone

The world comes within, to rejoice

Acceptance of life, disregarding choice

With the myopic mind no longer in the way

The eyes enjoy without having to weigh

Benevolent grace comes to the truly aware

They spend that on the world’s welfare
