Opened Eyes Closed Minds

Should I hide

because your eyes

are not pleased by my presence?





Should I not be,

for your

very own convenience?





Is it your eyes

that decide

what is beautiful to me?

Your vision is only a perception

with the deception

of thoughts forehand.

Surely,

you do not know of things

yet

to come.

How is it so

that you certainly

know



me?



Does my appearance

suggest

the total of me?



Of course not,

"I"

am within,

shielded

from your eyes alone.

My appearance

is your illusion

completely eluding you

from the total of me.

This is absolutely excellent! You are so right from first word to last. Read my piece called Recall The Childs Song and you will see we think pretty much alike. You have a profound piece here and I absolutely love it. Some might call it "heavey" but the message is truth and often others are not willing to accept it but it exists nonetheless. Outstanding,simply outstanding!!!!!!!!
