Eyes—Heart

Agree completely with no.2 and no.3, Kurt, but have a comment on no.1.
If \'Eyes\' is representative for all the human senses, I agree.
If not, I don\'t agree, since blind people feel love, hate, and all the other emotions the same as all of us.
I take your poem to mean that there cannot be any emotion unless there is an experience.

This Moment Transcendent
Louis Gibbs said:
On \"Betrothed\" ... \'Whatever we conquer is with us forever.\' On \"This Moment Transendent\" ... \'As we age, we become more reflective upon, and appreciative of, the present moment.\' This what I take from these two fine expressions, Kurt. Well done!

FredPeyer said:
Great poem Kurt, do like the 5th stanza and also the repetition of \'Dying in the moment, reborn to eternity\', which in my opinion also could stand alone as a two-liner.

Kurt you are so good a writer, I just keep repeating myself from one poem to the next, or have to try like crazy to come up with new praise. So from now on I will only type TIC (Totally Incredible Creation) to save time writing and reading!
