I am walking the streets at night, <br />bathing myself in the moonlight, <br />watching others go about their business, <br />so many people living in the darkness, <br />but this is not a dark and colourless land, <br />for you must try and understand, <br />that here your thoughts are divine, <br />as every moment is frozen in time. <br /> <br />Close your eyes, forget your name, <br />for in darkness we’re all the same. <br />Close your eyes, then lose yourself, <br />for you’re the same as anyone else. <br />Close your eyes, release your past, <br />for the future is the one and only task. <br />Close your eyes, follow your soul, <br />as it will make you complete and whole. <br /> <br />I am lying awake in my bed, <br />thinking about what people have said, <br />words spoken in times of madness, <br />and held in anger and bitterness, <br />looking out of my bedroom window, <br />in to the darkness and the shadow, <br />seeing the mysterious world outside, <br />where normal people do not hide. <br /> <br />Close your eyes, untangle your heart, <br />so your emotions can just fall apart. <br />Close your eyes, lay yourself bare, <br />find the beauty to make everyone stare. <br />Close your eyes, fight your fear, <br />for everyone is safe in here. <br />Close your eyes, dream your reality, <br />then you’ll know what you could be.<br /><br />Dale Mullock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/close-your-eyes-36/
