On the edge of forever

I open my arms
to the abyss
of the infinite

I cry to the
winds to set
me free

I open my
heart to the
ravages of time

And the gift
I receive…
The beauty
I perceive…

…is me.

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

You have divined the wisdom of the ages.  There is no freedom to love others, without first loving oneself.  There is greater gift to receive than that of self-worth.  Well written.

This was one of the most simple yet beautiful pieces I have ever read.

I can't exactly articulate why, but this poem really struck a chord deep within me. I guess it's because my Truth is similar to yours.

Beautiful.

Thank you all for your beautiful comments!

passing...it's always a thrill for me when you leave a reply!

ambrish...yes -- the "I am" is the basis for all, isn't it?

Fire Fairy...what an absolutely gracious comment. It is always a pleasure when I can "touch" someone with my art.

Thank you again...

Love and Light...jc

Jc...there is a huge amount of wisdom and
truth within this small package.  And it is
so very true that what is important is
simple....Love yourself first...and then you
can love all others as well.  

Thanx!
