ALIGHT WITH LOVE

Doris Kerns Quinn

Man's eyes are lit with love.The focus is exact.No fear or failing trust,No false, unfaithful actCan weaken or distortThe perfect sight of man,Or send a blurred reportOf an eternal fact:Man sees because he can.

Because he is, man sees,For Life is wholly MindWhich understands, perceives,And then reflects in kind;And Mind is wholly Love.No blank indifference marsThe sight that, lit with love,Looks through the dark to findThe brilliance of the stars.
