    Why Open My Eyes?

    There are lights I see...some are flickering...some are blinking...but they're never stable.....
    But other than that...my vision is clouded by a dense fog...
    Then again, I've yet to feel the warmth of the sun shining on my face...yearn to be blinded by the shining light...
    Will a light ever blind me the way it was blinded before?
    Sublime and magnificent...all hopes of finding this one slowly fades...
    Hard to find this light these days...
    Hard to open my eyes and grope in the dark, musky,dense fog...
    Why should I open my eyes..when all I could see is this?
    Why should I open my eyes when all is dark?
    Might as well have it shut when I see the same thing even when it's opened....
    Unless I feel & recognize a warmth coming from a strong undying radiance....I would welcome it...in a heart beat!

    Nice. Not totally overcome, just maybe overwhelmed. Still hoping to see. Just at the moment, seeing pitch black. Ironic how appreciation comes that much stronger when light hits eyes that have been darkened for so long. Like being starved, then coming across food. Well written.

    feel the sun with your heart and mind wide open. be a reflection of that sun, and soon you will be engulfed in its warmth. nicely done.

    How touching. I'm sure sunlight is just around the corner if you're willing to believe and go forward.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
