With Open Eyes

"with open eyes"

we've seen the sun
we felt warmth and light
such grace shadows us

we've watched the moon
we understood its power
such beauty renders wings

is there more for us to discover
like spring with rebirth and youth
we'll see and feel with open eyes

Yes, yes, yes -- well-said Lisa. Spring is for you for forget nay pain in hands as they heal in Holy Week because Jesus' blood is total atonement, including healings. Namasthe namasthe, namasthe. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - no life here without Jesus.
