My Eyes Are Closed

I see with my eyes closed.

I hear even when there are no words.

Color can be much richer this way.

Words are so much clearer.

Have you ever touched something with

your soul?

Something so colorful, sweet and only

tangible this way?

Have you ever seen the sun shining

through the water as it falls?

Never opening your eyes?

Have you ever felt the warmth of a fire

Embrace you from head to toe?

When there isnt even one?

Have you ever been one with someone

looking them in the eyes, no words, pure silence

envelopes you both

seeing far much deeper then the surface,

you hear words so intense,

No one is yet speaking?

I see with my eyes closed

I hear even when there are no words.
