My Inner Eye

My inner eye is like a camera
It has to be focused
Sometimes manually
Sometimes it just clicks in
automatically
My inner eye enables me
to peer into
my own soul
My super-conscious mind
My higher self

Its telescopic lens zooms past
useless particles
of pride and guilt
and anxiety
It zeros in on
The real me

My inner eye is geared
to stop the action
of negative thoughts
and feelings
Sometimes
it allows me to focus in on
certain basic truths
that are seen through a curtain
A curtain
of free flowing emotion
The emotion is
Love

Love is the lubricant
that flows over the surface
of my inner eye
It cleanses the lenses
of everyday worries
and self preoccupation
It enables me to perceive
a little
of what I was born knowing
But somehow forgot
