When You Close Your Eyes
November 5, 2021
What do you see when you close your eyes?
Sometimes I see gorgeous colors, beautiful enough to
brighten up my entire day
Swirls of green and blue and other indescribable colors
I feel as though I could keep my eyes closed all-day
Sunsets take place behind my eyes
It’s like ten thousand stars are flickering
right in front of me
Sometimes I see nothing and I don’t want to keep my closed
I want my eyes to explore the world
Snowy fields, blue oceans, flowers in every color you can imagine
Sudden rainstorms that soak the ground and leave behind giant, reaching rainbows
I’ve never had a time where I did not reopen my eyes
As bad as the world can be sometimes,
The times where its beauty shines are worth it
The world will never stop calling me back
From a time where I close my eyes
