The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thiine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light. (Jesus - Luke 11:34a)
To have this single eye
Is my heart's only goal,
To fix my gaze upon
The lover of my soul.
To see not circumstance
Nor the storm around me rage,
Content with fixéd gaze
As a dove within its cage
Sees nought but love's desire,
The object of its heart,
So I would look to Thee
From the very start.
One window in the side
Of Noah's diluvial ark
Serves as an outward sign
To which my soul would hark.
And I will have this eye
That sees but things above,
That sees celestial scenes
And the object of its love.
