Nothing's Change
I closed my eyes
and said a lullaby...
I opened them- and every thing's
still the same.
I closed my eyes
and counted till five.
I opened them...
nothing's change.
I closed my eyes and rehearsed a line...
I opened them-
everyone was still the same.
I closed my eyes...
and this time,
I said no lullabies;
I count not!
Either was I rehearsing anything...
When I closed my eyes,
tears pour out of them.
I opened them and the preacher was saying...
'I lift up my eyes to the hills..."
Nothing's Change
