The Opening Of Eyes

That day I saw beneath dark clouds
the passing light over the water
and I heard the voice of the world speak out,
I knew then, as I had before
life is no passing memory of what has been
nor the remaining pages in a great book
waiting to be read.

It is the opening of eyes long closed.
It is the vision of far off things
seen for the silence they hold.
It is the heart after years
of secret conversing
speaking out loud in the clear air.

It is Moses in the desert
fallen to his knees before the lit bush.
It is the man throwing away his shoes
as if to enter heaven
and finding himself astonished,
opened at last,
fallen in love with solid ground.

you changed it. Thanks, that's real considerate of you. It didn't affect me personally, but I'm sure it will help others :)

ps: it was probably because it was a picture that you couldn't copy & paste it earlier, too :D

Oh yes. Once you told me that there were blind people with talking computers to consider, there was no question that I had to peck it out.

Thank you so much for alerting me. :)
