wean off "seen"/See will mean ... so much more ... as metaphore.

'e said 'e fixed 'is eyes not on what's seen,
but on, instead, what's UNseen - through 'is life.
It makes me wonder what on earth 'e'd mean.
Yet as I think about it options, rife,

come running into mind from all sides. Wow!
At first just one, but then there's two or three.
I'll pick one out, & give it to you now.
And you can join me in this reverie...

* Well, if you look at a faint star that's there,
you can't see it until you look away -
at something (or at nothing) anywhere
a bit close to it; then, all I can say..

..is in peripheral vision it is "seen".
I know some things are like this, elusive.
But norm'ly they are faint, catch what I mean?
The message here would be: life's like a sieve

where what goes through is not the stuff you want
(or else the other way around - might be);
you want the one not just then focused on..
ta be the one that finally will be seen.

But here's another option (and there's more):
* He doesn't mean "fixed" with the EYE at all,
what's "fixed on with the eye" is metaphore
for what my life is focused on for sure.

Thus saying, if you focus on what's seen
those things are temporary at the best,
the world unseen to us now, presently
will last much longer than all of the rest.

For unseen things like culture, love & hate,
& fam'lies, friendship & security,
& social structures, though they may seem late-
ly come, affect much more, as you may see...

And that's before you learn from what 'e knew,
about a person who made all this world,
who made us, & who loves as parents do,
expecting that his flag will be unfurled

more after this ol' womb-world is finished,
& bodies "indestructible" are born,
relationships are key, undiminished
they will affect things more! So now be warned.

So we fix our eyes not on what we can see but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 (PM Version)
