THIRD EYE
A third eye opened
When she closed her eyes
As the tides of men ebbed
She heard earth's mournful cries
It cried of great loves
It cried of great falls
It built the great cities
And tore down their walls
The guardians of eternity
See more than men can see
Her third eye crumbled
When she built up the walls
She felt the grip of gravity
A thousand hands at her feet
From great heights
Each time
She would fall
Where older souls
Would have retreated
She insisted on drowning
‘Til she was dragged from the river
She coughed up the water
Life's eternal flood
As the water released her
A third eye opened up.
