~ MY EARTHLY TOPCOAT ~

~ 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,

WOW!! WOW!!...... what an awesome commentary my friend.....I mean, for me personally..... to have surmised that the universe herself "blesses me for how I see her..." is one of THE most humbling and inspiring comments I have EVER received..... perhaps THE BEST (for me) I have ever gotten...... Thank you, from my everything, for this NIGEL!!...... you have given me purpose..... you \have given me MORE than you could know!!.....I am your Ever-Friend and admirer..... the fact that you grasped the heart of my intention and found that you could relate so wholeheartedly affords me 'Reason over self-doubt' and purpose over floundering.......I Thank you and someday I will explain in greater detail!!......... Thank you again kind Sir!!....... Lots of Love!!........T xo ❤✴?✴❤✴

This stanza is brilliant Tony

So,
I shall remove
My earthly topcoat
And place it,
Ever-so-gently,
Across its body,
Of ever-evolving,
Stars...

The words paint a vivid picture.
