Open Your Eyes

? Open Your Eyes ?

Open your eyes, not just to the light
But to the stillness that waits in the absence of sight
Truth doesn’t hide in temples or skies
It lives in the silence behind your own eyes

You search for answers in pages and speech
But the knowing you seek is just out of reach
Not because it's far, or bound by disguise
But because it is simple, and truth never lies

The world teaches noise, distraction, and fear
But wisdom speaks softly, when the heart is clear
You don’t need saving, fixing, or proof
Only the courage to stand in your truth

No path to follow, no map to find
The way is written inside your mind
And in that moment, when seeking dies
You will remember, and you will rise.
