VISION






VISION


To see an idea,
A possibility, a new one,
by one’s own eyes

To see in such a way
That one is blinded,
One sees nothing else…

One sees it clearly,
Too clearly, obviously,
With a wonder at
How others missed it.

To feel that power,
That limitless energy
To put that idea
Into practice
To make it
Real, possible, functioning.

Until it becomes a
Part of everyday life
and others can’t do
without it!

But an idea once thought
Is like a tree,
It does not stop!
It gives rise to other ideas
And limitless, tireless work.

One finds one’s mission,
One’s meaning, one’s possession,
One’s love….one’s life!

One lives it.
Oh! With what unbearable
Excitement, enthusiasm,
Passion!
One stings everyone around
With one’s
Utter clarity and certainty.

One’s own life
 ceases to matter,
Only one’s idea,
Purer, dearer than
Anything else…

Driving one to
Carry it out
To its fullest reach
But never reaching that…

A laughter ringing true
And let loose on earth!

An idea more than
changes your life.
It is life!!

OPENING ONE’S EYES





OPENING ONE’S EYES

It’s a strange thing –
to really know,
to really understand,
to see with one’s
own eyes.
It’s strange because
we live in a blind world.

To open one’s eyes
to this beautiful world
is to feel a great,
profound, simple joy.

One can’t get tired –
that concept
becomes impossible!
One’s eyes are open and it
is infinitude really.

One goes on then,
to do a hundred things.
One laughs at pain,
sadness, the
negatives of life…

One becomes cold,
unsocial, cruel, harsh,
yet one is the only one
who is infinitely
kind, patient,
loving and sweet!

One takes on the whole world!
One can’t but find the
strength, the drive,
the energy to do work that is
unbelievably right and good!

One derives one’s deepest joy,
fulfillment, meaning
from that great task.

One wins!
One has to –
the roads are clear
in a blind world….
One goes at top speed.

To win becomes a natural thing
because a void hungers
for filling, for fulfillment…

It’s such men who keep the
world going- the men
who open their eyes
who really see,
who really understand.

The world can be won.
Unreality can be fought
by living really and
showing mankind the
emptiness of
unreality and the
beauty of real living…

The worst crime
is to be blind
when God has gifted us eyes!

To open one’s eyes
is to open oneself
to the beauty, joy and
splendour of
truly understanding,
knowing and creating!
