[Thespiritexpress] Poem read last Tuesday: Listeners of the Bright Eyes

[balldinger]

I love the new view comprised of unified eyes, the choice between all these voices, and how the "I" in indomitable gets bucked of its own horse here, Riantee. I really admire how you allow infinite love to corral the "heroic ego" into the "eternal us" and I wanna hop on that bus and ride awhile, too. Thank you for the radiance with which you allow this poem to beam - bravo!~ EdSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

You are opening my eyes:Wasn’t I working on forgiveness,on acceptance and surrender,on the infinite lovethat I amthat you are,you who have given methis voice, our voicethese eyes, our eyesto seethe eternal me,the limitless you,the perfect beingwe all are.
