Eyes Closed

"Eyes Closed"

                " Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see"
                     Drawing conclusions without opening the book is wrong..
                        Only hearing the music and not the words of a song..
                                Finding love beyond the trees of the forest..
                          But in the end finding a place for my head to rest..                
                    Sometimes the pages stick together and we miss the theme.. 
                           Because in the end what we see in the mirror is not 
                                                    always as it seems..

I always loved the Beatles, I have a CD of Beatle songs that I love and the thing is the Beatles are not singing them, other singers are and it is amazing, I wish you the best in the contest, and thank you so much for your ever wonderful comments on my poetry, I so appreciate that~~

I've never aquired a taste for the Beatles Michael, (country and jazz) for me, since I was a lil' squirt ! Yet, this write of yours dear poet, is one which I can muse over. I think this write will go over well in Chris' contest ! Have a wonderful week sir ! Much love, james
