Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
Today’s Lenten poem from Education for Justice is by Richard Guy Miller.
Open Your Eyes
We never really die.
We just open our eyes.When they have seen
Their last limitation,
We turn and weep,
Or we awake from our dream,
Open our eyes and know…We never really die.
We just open our eyes.When we have seen
Our last limitation,
We turn and weep,
Or we awake from our dream,
Open our eyes and know…We never really lived.
We just closed our eyes.Source: “Open Your Eyes” by Richard Guy Miller. Meditate with Poetry, 2003.
