Notes About The Poem

The way we live our lives is our choice within our abilities. Our abilities are many times more than we perceive them to be.

Keep Your Eyes Open

Keep Your Eyes Open
By Franklin Price
2/21/2016

Keep your eyes open
Ears and nose to the wind
Inspiration will come
To your senses my friend

Whether poet or painter
Writer, sculptor or king
Observing surroundings
Will bring songs to sing

If you seek to know nothing
Stick your head in the sand
Make up what you want to
Do not understand

Then close your eyes tightly
Pinch nose, muffle ears
Close and lock doors and windows
Live inside with your fears
