Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Verse

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
