Open your eyes so you
might see the beauty
that surrounds you
Open your ears so you
might hear the songs
of life
Open your mouth so you
might speak words
of encouragement
Open your heart so you
might experience the
joys of love

Opening the Muse Quadrille #16
44 word poem using "open"
You and Lynn are on the same page. Very similar prayer-poems--so much so that I had to go back and make sure they weren't the same. Lovely prayer.
ReplyDeleteI went over to read her poem and yes, they are indeed very similar. I was unable to leave a comment for her. I guess our muse was thinking along the same lines.
DeleteYes indeed, open to love and receive blessings in abundance.
ReplyDeleteOpening to receive...
DeleteThese are wonderful gifts, the beauty and the songs of life.........and the encouragement and love we give to others. Loved this one, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry!
DeleteGood things to be open to!
ReplyDeleteTo that I would agree!
Deleteyes to be always open to such divine wealth that has been offered to us in abundance....beautiful prayer poem...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sumana
DeleteLovely. And keep eyes, ears and heart open wider than mouths... It is the mouth which gets me into trouble.
ReplyDeleteSometimes my mouth gets me into trouble as well :)
DeleteSimple and lovely. Unfortunately, so many will never follow this and will instead shut themselves out and, in turn, the world.
ReplyDeleteThat is true and very sad :(
DeleteI like both the message and th structure of this poem. But even before that I was struck with the multiple meanings of the title. This is a treat to read!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, I contemplated the title for a bit as I am not usually good with titles.

Hey, How are you? I haven't seen you around in a bit? Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI think when we have are open like that we become whole as humans...
ReplyDeleteThat is very true Bjorn, to fully experience life , mind, body and spirit...
DeleteI love the simplicity of this. Too many closed off people, not fully enjoying their senses and by extension their lives.
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys, it may be simple, but it came from my heart..
DeleteI like this. So life-affirming.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan!
DeleteTrue. We need to be sensitive (as opposed to dense and unaffected) about the things and people around us. I guess, the proper word is 'attuned.'
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Imelda
That is the perfect word "attuned" to others and our surroundings.
DeleteGood advice we should all take!
ReplyDeleteSometimes in life it is hard to remember, but we can try :)
