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.

Thank you Andrea, earlier today I read the poem at the Northern Lights Buddhist Men's Meeting and they seemed to enjoy it. Thanks again for liking.
