A Thought

Judge not what thou hast oft in sight,
as deep must live the soul.
Thy naked eyen might tell thee lies,
whilst hearts shall tell it all.

Last few words: 
Just experimenting a less modern language. Hope you don't mind it. :)

So kind of you to drop in with such a nice comment.
I always thought the English less modern language is really charming.

Twix your God and the essence of all things, is a domain we shall call Heaven, because it is too beautiful for any other word.
That we shall dwell within this domain in perfection, is a task that we must try to achieve.
There shall be only a love of an energy that will eclipse all other things, there we shall be free of all man made stupidity,
Yours as always, Ian

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

The language you mimic is Old English.

but 'soul' and ''all'' is a weak rhyme (imo)
lol - it may be my aussie accent, but i think
''whilst hearts shall tell the whole.' might work better ???

this little beautie trips awesomely over the tongue when read aloud

I love all that you write even with the occasional flaw. It's a good poem even without the new language.

I like how concisely you wrote this poem. A moral in verse--very lovely

The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits.~G.K. Chesterton
