As I Open My Eyes

I wander through this world and I do get lost, Though I become aware of what this all cost. Sometimes the pieces do not always fit, Sometimes I can’t see from this place I sit. As the light retreats I wonder where it went. Nothing returns from all messages I sent. The stars and the moon shine so bright. They seem like a reminder, now it is night. Tail lights vanish into the dark night Once in view, but now out of sight. Things disappear that were once so clear, As darkness surrounds I am left with my fear. A beacon of hope seems to guide me through. I awake this morning to a day that is new. I hope and pray, the sun will shine, To warm my soul, so I will feel fine. So many things seem to get in the way. But I am just glad to wake up today. Maybe after time all will seem right. My future’s before me, the sun shines bright. I realize I am not bound to any course. I feel some sorrow and find the source. I know that happiness comes from within, I step to the start yet don’t know where to begin. Still it seems better than it was yesterday, I gaze around to find another way. All that I search for is right before me. I just open my eyes and then I can see. It isn’t a mystery I’ve been here before, As a window closes it opens a door. I gather the pieces from off of the floor, My eyes shall see what there is in store.
