Reluctant Eyes (From, Occasional Songs) Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Reluctant eyes,
Everywhere you stare;
Hidden viewing skies,
Be of this aware.
Love is for the making,
All things come and go;
Life is for the taking,
For oblivious grow.

Hide your face away,
Love will conquer all;
Meet dawn's new day,
Follow it to the fall.
The beauty is within,
Every matter's waste;
Mind and heart will win,
If not done in haste.

Reluctant dry mind,
Can not set its wings;
It is set behind,
Where muse truly sings.
Sky is cloud ridden,
For the drifting picture;
Future there lies hidden,
In no given fixtures.
