~ MY EARTHLY TOPCOAT ~
Awaken the third eye
Man's vestigial light organ
And the universe will whisper her secrets...
Life does test the bravest
For there is true bravery
In growing old
And an innocence to the magic
Of generations passing
Seemingly
In the blink of God's eye,
The true privilege
Is in being alive itself
And recognizing
The horizon's point of view
Looped
In translucent circles
Connecting
The me and you
Of all existence
To the inert
As well as the volcanic
Where
The soul moves steadily forward
Creating worlds anew
With alien DNA
And leaves other worlds behind
No dates nor persons
No rituals or special standing
The spirit
Recognizing the brilliance
Of and in
The light
(that exists)
Between
All forms of life...
Oh, sweet spirit
Awaken,
For the universe is calling
( in its most enigmatic voice)
So,
I shall remove
My earthly topcoat
And place it,
Ever-so-gently,
Across its body,
Of ever-evolving,
Stars...
Tony Taylor

I believe that she sings her truths and I believe that the universe blesses you for how you see her. This is so much how I feel about our beautiful, transient lives that it is definitely my favourite of your work so far. Really love this. Pinned mate,

Oh wow really cool Tony I was looking at a documentary about the 7 root races of human and the first one supposedly had this third eye and the Egyptions knew about this and portraits there knowledge in that famous eye hyroglyph you know the one well this symbol is the same shape as this special part off the brain our so called third eye.
