Sun Stare

I stared long into the sun, and got blinded by the truth My carnal eyesight was burned away as I descended down from atop my roof Now I walk among you sightless, yet seeing everything Being blinded by the truth is most liberating Come all ye children, sons and daughters of the Most High Lift your heads to the sky and open your eyes Gaze long into the sun, let abundant light come in from this sun stare Then go forth, now color blind, revealing the nature of God to whomsoever everywhere

Did you get purple dots in your vision too? I did when I did it. Plus I couldn't see for ages. A well-written poem RW. Good to see your pen still flowing gold my friend.
