Close Your Eyes To Open Them
CLOSE YOUR EYES TO OPEN THEM
Close your eyes to open them,
this is the road to nothingness,
wrap yourself in the cloud of unknowing.
Only when the eyes are shut can one see
the pure light inside,
the ultraviolet spectrum hanging
like the prism on the dark side of the moon;
vital power.
Close your eyes to open them,
lose yourself in that forgetting;
Eden’s veil not from the apple
nor the tree of knowledge
But to choose free will and by that stroke
start the cycles of fear,
absence and rejection.
Close your eyes to open them,
forget what you think to be true
and accept you will never know
any measure of truth
in this sapient form.
Close your eyes to open them,
this is not a paradox
or a mystical riddle,
oneness lies in nothingness.
Close your eyes to feel the cloud
and be a particle of heavenly lightfog.
