With Eyes Wide Shut

With eyes wide shut we walk In our blindness of thoughts and prejudices Towards the cliff. We follow the sounds Never hearing a word...a note To the makings of the song Dancing to the music not hearing it's melody We sing in our muteness songs we neither see nor hear We walk crippled towards the faceless words Drinking without taste the nectar that must never be swallowed. "Sweet" We say when we cannot taste But finish it's juices in a single gulp Not quenching the thirst we know not that we have Belching the stench of its odor that we cannot smell In knowledge we know nothing of what we have seen While walking in blindness with our eyes wide shut We listen with deafness to the drones of time Never singling out a line. We feel in the darkness for the light switch that we have always had In the contours of our minds We look around seeing nothing in a room full of everything. Blank spaces on the walls of pictures vibrant in truth Still we with only see them with our eyes wide shut. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Beside the Yellow Brick Road In the forest Lies the deeper path of truth.
