Array ( [sid] => 36917 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Closing My Eyes [time] => 2004-03-01 13:31:10 [hometext] => This is what happens when I close my eyes! [bodytext] => Closing my eyes
I find a real dark place
If only I plug my ears
It would be added grace

The silence
The darkness
Together are the same
When I am lonely
It is my private game

If I meditate
For a long period of time
All the stress and burden
I can really feel unwind

When I try real hard
A figure or face I see
And not once ever
Has a figure or face been me

As it seems
I am trying to find my inner soul
Or just some real inner piece
To give me a new goal

Closing my eyes
Is my way of finding me
Even though my eyes are closed
I found I still can see

Visions are real
Figures are black and white
My eyes are closed
And yet I still have sight

It is a gift to me
Given from God above
The closer I get to my soul
I find a heart full of love

This game I play
To mend my stressed out mind
It helps me to find inner love
And to be of the loving kind



The figures and faces
I truly can see
It often makes me wonder
Why they come to me

Perhaps it’s another soul
Crying for someone’s help
If only my ears were not plugged
I might hear them yelp

I say yelp
Because it describes crying in pain
I think by now
You all must think I’m insane

So close your eyes
And see what you feel
Enter a world of darkness
And find your soul to heal.

Closing My Eyes

Closing my eyes
I find a real dark place
If only I plug my ears
It would be added grace

The silence
The darkness
Together are the same
When I am lonely
It is my private game

If I meditate
For a long period of time
All the stress and burden
I can really feel unwind

When I try real hard
A figure or face I see
And not once ever
Has a figure or face been me

As it seems
I am trying to find my inner soul
Or just some real inner piece
To give me a new goal

Closing my eyes
Is my way of finding me
Even though my eyes are closed
I found I still can see

Visions are real
Figures are black and white
My eyes are closed
And yet I still have sight

It is a gift to me
Given from God above
The closer I get to my soul
I find a heart full of love

This game I play
To mend my stressed out mind
It helps me to find inner love
And to be of the loving kind



The figures and faces
I truly can see
It often makes me wonder
Why they come to me

Perhaps it’s another soul
Crying for someone’s help
If only my ears were not plugged

So close your eyes
And see what you feel
Enter a world of darkness
And find your soul to heal.

it seems God has blessed you with many things, the gift to see and the gift of writting...you are and amazing poet, i can only aspire to write this well...you have a way of putting things down that draw people in to whatever you talking about...a gift no all of us posess...im gonna try it myself closing my eyes and finding me in the process, as i know i dont posess the other gift you have...its great that you see it as a blessing itis easier to embrace and accept that way...keep them coming...slr
