VISION Help me to see,Help me to know Truth in its forms Above and below Beyond subtle dress, Extravagant flair, Imperious posture And similar air ... To peel away layers Of onion or pearl Or penetrate cloud Not illusion alone But similar stratus Confusion has borne ... To winnow the meaning Beyond any gloss And, naked of shadowy Chaff, dregs or dross, Reveal but the essence Expected or not And find there the basis Of progress or naught |
