Blinded By the Sight

Eyes wide
Lids pinned
Loss of skin

Rise

Skies
All seeing eyes
Umbilical ties

Rise

Disperse
Immerse
Uncompromised

Rise

Engulf
Expelled
Cauterized

Fall

Ego all
So small
Recall

Fall

Eyes wide
lids pinned
Fall in.

Love the opening and ending lines and your placement of the rise, fall in this piece. I have never meditated but I have heard that it can be a wonderful and centering experience. Well said, my talnted friend! Love and hugs, Robin

This poem is an attempt to relate a "journeying" a type of meditation used by shamanic belief systems to grow and learn. I was seeking God the Father in the Light & I wasn't ready or dead (thank goodness) so I fell back into my earhly form. (thank goodness) It as allows for a glimpse of the experience of astral projecting. BUT what ever message "the word" gives you is the message YOU are supposed to recieve! Love Ya

This is a deep piece, speaking from the soul of the writer. It seems the subject feels as though they are spinning out of control unsure of exactly where they belong. "Disperse, Immerse, Uncompromised" Wow, I feel that sometimes so deeply. This one really gets the reader on the path of looking within. Great write as usual. Smiles from Lolita
