Film Alley

Our concept of an eye
Full well looking
Lord knows
Where all that fullness is...
But what have we seen?

Is the eye, another than the eye?
Your eye, one of the eyes?
Oh poorest. Do you have eyes and yet not see?

The camera is recording, for someone to see
But without the person, we alter
Without cause

You must remember the human being
Or he will be forgotten by celluloid and digitalia
Forgotten in paper

The words ... not forgotten in words

I feel it prudent to mention the very existence
(of the landscape)
You can't feel something prudent anymore
I wonder why that is

It's unprofessional

See for yourself

Are we not children? Undefeated?

We are in the age
Of information
But that is all one
I will sing of the sun

A rise and set
Perpetuation
But that is all one
I will sing of the nun

A parson or page
Some speculation
But that is all one
I will sing of the Son

Mysterious sage
Is worthy to know
The further you go
You walk and he glows

Reverend reveres
And so we shall follow
Him to follow
He that follows

Not at a glimpse
Nor ever at hollow
Him to follow
He that follows
From He that is Light
No chance for flight

And would you fight
To hide from light
You are not worthy
Or do not know
Blessed is he
Or she who believes
And still has not seen
