I wrote this poem for Steve Tanham, Founder of The Silent Eye and Director of Teaching.

Once someone chooses to study with The Silent Eye they begin working directly with a supervisor who provides them with monthly study materials and reviews weekly journals they submit in response to what they observed or learned from the lessons.
Steve is my Supervisor, and teacher. I began studying with him in 2013. And one could say that I am probably one of the slowest learners as each of the three lessons is geared as an annual goal. I guess we all learn at our own speed and in God’s time.
I wrote this poem for Steve because of how amazing and gentle he has been as my teacher. From the depths of my despair, he reached in and offered me his hands to hold as I pulled myself up. I tried to let go but Steve held on as tight as he could. I fell and he picked me up. And I finally turned the proverbial corner and now he walks with me as I continue to grow.
From my heart with deep gratitude, and love.
The Sun
Horus’ eye
Seer of deep within
unlocking doors of old
ancient wisdom
calling the soul to unfold
His Falcon’s spiral dance
arches descending
lifting ascending
swaddles the infant’s core
the child born again
to know once more
His heart filled with love
to know beyond a doubt
recognizing the rage
to him a mere cage
He teaches you how
to climb out of the past
and be in the now
He welcomes the Sun
as he listens to the song of Ra
from the house of two horizons
he shares with you his true Ba
The salt of the earth
as fluid as mercury
with deep mirth
he says, join us, truly
With love to all The Silent Eye Directors; including Sue Vincent, Director of Supervision, and Stuart France, Director of Research. All three of you glow with love and your essence of gold.

This one is particular to the person it was written for and has some mythology in the mix. There might be others you may resonate with. But I have to admit my poetry is odd. Thank you! 🤗
