Deep Within

Open thy eyes
Do not hide from
the worldly beauty
that surrounds thee

Open thy heart
Do not keep it apart
From thy earthly body
that engulfs thee

Open thy mind
And you will find
Peace and contentment
Not disillusion and discontentment

Open thy soul
So you will know
the unlimited flow
From deep within

Amen, And Amen, indeed there is an unlimited source that flows from deep within. Thanks for your gracious comments today. I am southern, but the catch phrase was Deborah Guzzi's , she is northern. They say southern folks eat Gritts, but I didn't know what they were untill I was 20 years old. Smile. Just a nice way, assuming there is a nice way, to say kiss the other end, "I Reckon!! LOL.
