Someone To Open Your Eyes
For Arthur Vaso, who so much inspires me.

Maybe not once in a lifetime,
but certainly not often
Someone enters your life
Or maybe enters your life is
not the right expression,
not the right expression,
waltzes with you, opens your eyes,
confronts you, questions and
challenges you, inspires you,
accepts you fully and completely,
loves you.
confronts you, questions and
challenges you, inspires you,
accepts you fully and completely,
loves you.
And all the while the wind blows
over this world,
over this world,
erases love, children, warps war everywhere
forgets the helpless,
dwarfs the powerless.
dwarfs the powerless.
It's too easy to hide, turn your head away,
bury yourself
in enjoyable pastimes
Maybe not once in a lifetime,
but certainly not often
in enjoyable pastimes
But tomorrow it is
you, your house is gone
You are exiled, your children
are hungry or killed...
Then what
do you
do?
?
but certainly not often
Someone enters your life
Someone who with gentle force opens your eyes,
With beautiful lines, books and music.
And perhaps that is painful
But remember this: it is because he
has a beautiful heart, he
wants the world a better place.
