" CURED OF BLINDNESS "

" CURED OF BLINDNESS "

How golden-eyed beautiful
Are my dreams
When my soul is reunited
With my awareness of the beauty
In the simplicity
Of my restless environment
The friendships
And acts of selflessness
That not only do I feel blessed
But similarly ashamed
For taking for granted
The Christmas morning cornucopia
That rains down on me
Each day....

I can communicate
With much of the world
Through a box on my desk
I can speak with a friend
In another country
Through a rectangle in my hand
And even though
I can't really walk
I can view places
Deep out into the universe
Through satellites and the internet
I spend long periods of time
Alone in my room
And yet
Each day I float on air
Because of a kiss
Or a word from my Love
And reminiscences
With my Mom or my Son's
Fills my heart with a joy
That I find my time
So utterly well spent
That I have come to a place
Where
For the first time in my life
I like myself
I feel so humbly honored
That God
Has allowed me to have taken
So many breaths
Cried, so many tears
Laughed so many times
Come to respect
And eagerly anticipate
His most
Universally,
Loving,
Plans.....

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)

This was great, beautiful really and a lot of it resonated with me I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear in my heart for the feelings that went into this write..The love, the humble..being humble is a trait very few posses nowadays and being grateful goes along with that as well...I loved how you went into detail and told us some of the things you were grateful for and you did it so gracefully...great job and may your road be safe from harms way

much love, CO

Tony Taylor - an honest assessment of your core feelings: a humble dwelling and abode to your unselfish

heart speaking out in its sonic refinements. Engaging your place in life and its circumstances are fulfilled

by reasoning out the deliberate with the abyss which you measure in this poem. I feel your passions

engage a purpose beyond the the material self. Spiritually giving, is your ambiance here. Sometimes our

hearts control our heads, and in this measure its a masterpiece....

No I have not! But I've been reading quite a few of your works, and I got a say I think my favorite is Tolkien's Words, it's so epic! And no problem, you have quite a talent! I might just get "a little" inspired " from your lyrical poems

Awww...beautiful brother.......I see and feel this verse....and know that the little boxes you speak of are all that we sometimes have to reach out...and fee ourselves from our prison of pain...

"And even though
I can't really walk
I can view places
Deep out into the universe
Through satellites and the internet
I spend long periods of time
Alone in my room
And yet
Each day I float on air
Because of a kiss
Or a word from my Love"   Such a beautiful masterpiece....your soul will continue to create...

I see the love in your heart for your special angel...that gives you reason....

The little boxes will always be there for us....keep reaching out..you are never alone :)

Love and hugs

Have a great life and writing journey
