The Spritual Hurricane's Eye

Temporal vision is all temporary wise, leading,
deceiving, so let be open the pupil of my spiritual eye.
Surpassing, deception, dissembling & diatribe.
Lose the misunderstandings inherent in the clouding
conspiring passing play, of life’s speeding day by night
nocturnal wise ways.
Light surpassing time & circumstance,
grant me leave, grant me space in light waves to journey
with their nuanced dance through the passes of time,
looming all round over bluffs,
and the parting of ways.
let the eye of true insight enrapture me in pure delight.

"The Spiritual Hurricane's Eye", would surely be where "the eye of true Insight" may be found, Joe. It can see beyond the clouding of "circumstance, time, and misunderstanding" and can give you a whole new perspective! Keep well, Joe!! Love, Mikki

I liked the last line but I think you should leave out the word "sight". Another nice line is "nocturnal wise ways. Peace & blessings Matthew Anish

Hi Joe, Thanks for stopping by my work today. Mary is still trying to figure out how I can get the money for the book to you without you having to pay for check cashing fees. She's going to see if the same fees apply to money orders. I can't purchase Lira here. Love, Carolyn

Hi Joe! "The Spiritual Hurricane's Eye" would surely precipitate an oncoming force. Your "eye of seeing", will certainly enrapture another "in pure delight". Nicely thought out and delivered...thanks Joe! Blessings to you, Mikki

How I love the line "grant me space in light waves to journey," Joe. The storms that rage within our minds is well compared to a "hurricane." Thank you for taking me on this journey with you. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn
