Eye 
 
 

Who is the eye of the peace bearing universe? 
My worth in my watching, life weighted in fullness 
I do not hurry, or bury the moments 
I am the bearer of peace in the Universe. 
At the folding of sunlight in shadowed bird song 
I am the witness, the eye of the Universe 
At the moon's first white sliver, the shiver, 
the witness, I am, 
I am the peace of the wide flowing turn. 
In the welter of things; in the maelstrom of makers 
I am the witness, the feeler, 
the eye of the Universe In the welter of things: 
in the maelstrom of wakings I am. 
Let there be peace: let there be peace. 
Let there be at the heart of this wantoning world 
one strong pool of peace.
