"I Close My Eyes"

[Way Nada]

 
I close my eyes, and into my sight,
I see darkness covers the light,
It whists the silence of the night.
The whistling wind, I am aware;
It's in my ear, I float on air.

I close my eyes, my thoughts on fire,
The drifting cloud takes me afar...
A picturesque world and folks so fair,
The mood I feel addling my mind;
In every sense I can't explain.

I close my eyes, a baffling scene,
This phenomenon behind my realm.
What's this for you and me to mean?
An inferior being cannot break in,
The world inside a human brain.

I close my eyes, the scene remains,
The girl long gone is here again,
As it is true the story's told,
The rainbow's end and I behold,
When she and I all bathe in gold.

I close my eyes, and off we go,
We soar'd to watch the scene below,
Over land and sky, stars at night,
Mountain tops; I touch them whole,
As Nature's in my hand all in all.

I close my eyes, to seek the land,
Which I believe where life began.
My sight is clear, my mind is bland,
Into the night it was so grand,
It was a dream; I sigh and then I cry.

The perfect complimentary song to this poem is Phil Collins' Against All Odds

We soar'd to watch the scene below,
Over land and sky, stars at night,
Mountain tops; I touch them whole,
As Nature's in my hand all in all. "
