Please Excuse Me: An Introspection Poem by Mahfooz Ali

When I close my eyes
I see so much clearer.
My vision turns inward
and searches my very soul.
Vivid colors and truths
float through the cluttered
pathways of my mind.

When I close my eyes
reality fades away
and is replaced with a world
that spins at my pace
and is perfect at that moment.

When I close my eyes
I can paint like the masters
and sing like the crooners
please excuse me as I
close my weary lids.........
