Close Your Eyes Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

If you may just close your eyes,
And for a second cease to think:
I'll show you how magnificence lies
Still, on a soulful soul's brink.

Imagine you can merely fly,
With wings attached whether out or in;
Make sure your limit is the sky,
But forget not who you've always been.

Despite the various vague attempts:
That try, or once did shoot you down,
With the envious senseless contempt,
Be proud you've made it on your own.

It matters not if you seem blue,
Or see gray, or black or white,
If you have something that gets you through:
The most cold, blackened, bewildered night!

My eyes wide open, like yours, were once:
Seeking to something embrace;
But the one thing I did barely glimpse:
Transients oft leave a trace.

If you may just close your eyes,
Then try to take a look at life:
You'll find it filled with goodbyes,
Heartbreaks and an endless strife!

With eyes wired shut I see:
The world always warm and bright;
Or maybe but imagine it to be,
Since fancy's better than actual sight!
