Immortal Eyes

To simply see silence,

infinite wideness; endless divine,

is to feel the doorway,

to feel the infinite sublime.

When mortals walk

without the golden light

they walk alone,

they walk in hustling blight.

We are the heirs,

a royal chain of all.

Timeless, deathless;

we are the caller and the call.

To stand upright

in spirit's silence free,

is to know you are

the center, eternity.

Just lovely...

This reminded me on one of my favorite quotes from Hellen Keller...

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart."

Let those with out eyes see and those without ears hear you beautiful words!

Ovations!

Powerfully written!
Much thought and inspiration when into your preparation on this one.All of life's gifts
as mortals weaved between the lines;
"To stand upright in spirit's silence free"
We truly are the "heirs of His royal chain!"
Very moving indeed!
God be with you.

"...we are the caller and the call."

And the ear that hears the call. This piece is a gentle and beautiful expression of eternal peace, the unmoving, fearless sense of Being that comes with awakening to our true Self. Well shared, my friend.
