Open To Your Eyes

The weathering of ways as rain
Making supple the thick skin of dormant souls
I breathe in rhythm with the earth
Thinking over a collection of drops
Peeling back successive layers of doubt
Until all movement stops
Transparent as the wind to those that cannot see
But I know the sound of my own heart
Feel the course in my own veins
Timeless, falls the shawls of momentary fears
Pattering vibration falls upon my ears
Bereft of sound
And then, as if the sunrise after
Another look into your timid heart brings laughter
At myself, I chime inside, appreciating more
Of what the fates may have in store
Though din, the clarity in rains sweet mockery

As stand this ground I will
Looking still
As if

Kay,  you give me these gifts to read and
remember... How could anyone ever forget
the magnificent beauty that you deliver
and weave.

"As if..."
I love it!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
