Eye Sight: What I Saw

What would happen if we humans could free ourselves from self-criticism and worry about external judgment? Would creativity and innovation, awe and wonder, follow?

“A seasoned poet takes the usual and seemingly mundane and with the sharp edges of words in a craftsman’s hand scrapes its surface to reveal the true, the real and all that is finally too astonishing and too beautiful for words. Tim Gillis is a seasoned-by-life poet. Take your time and let these scar your senses, pierce you to the depths of your longings and help teach you the truer way to see.”
— Wm. Paul Young, Author of The Shack, Cross Roads, Eve and Lies We Believe About God
 

Selected Excerpt

Open Up

Somewhere inside

There is an artist, latent

Waiting to be revived

In the heart, in the soul

Afraid to observe, much less depict

What lies within

The complication of that is

The beauty of the missed

Opportunity to behold

An unwritten story

A tale of courage and glory

That deserves to be told
