You say you have no spirit,
but truthfully ask yourself this—
Would you look into my eyes
and see something beyond color?
You look at my hands,
but do you see beyond their shape to what they create?
but truthfully ask yourself this—
Would you look into my eyes
and see something beyond color?
You look at my hands,
but do you see beyond their shape to what they create?
When you notice my feet,
would you see beyond perception to
see how I travel through my journey,
or the way I am following after you?
Don’t imitate an eye and only see the object;
Don’t be fooled by the word reality.
When I look into your eyes, I see your spirit.
When I notice your feet,
I see the journey you’re taking,
the compass you follow.
Would you put down your logical way of thinking for just
a moment to see the hidden spirit glowing in you,
the spirit I see living through the truthful, inspirational
things you do,
the spirit that keeps me walking after you?

Carol,
This is, absolutely, one of the best poem/expression of compassion and love I’ve ever seen…. Is the author the Katie Pratt on WP at Rural Route 2?… If not, can it be reproduced; I’l love to use it some time… If it is, I’ll ask her….
Thanks for this, regardless; love it.

You’re on your own with this one, Ned. It was passed on to me by a friend and I simply posted it. I’ll probably be in big trouble someday for breaking such rules…but I see it as spreading beautiful words created by a wonderful writer. If my blog is closed down and I’m banned from ever sharing these poems…you’ll know what happened. 🙂
LOL
Okay, I’ll ask her…. I don’t think anyone would mind; your intentions are honest and ethical; plus it gives them a lot of exposure, since you have so many followers yourself….
😉
Here’s another great poem that you might have missed: https://radiatingblossom.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/i-am-offering-this-poem/
Thanks! I’ll check it out after I post today….
