A story teller

He used to tell us of people possessed by the spirits of the dead.
He said: These stories are borrowed from the past.
Little by little we forgot how to see, really see.
We forgot how to look with the eyes of our deepest dream.
The faces around me have only two eyes. Two lonely eyes.

Background: legends in the age of reason. The Jewish tradition spoke of "Dibbuks"- the spirits of the dead that possessed the living.
