I close my eyes
And the silvers shimmer
I open them
And the magic breaks
I close my eyes
And the stars sing out
I open them
To find deadness prevails
I close my eyes
And glow in love
I open them
To freeze in pain
I spend a day
I spend a night
And then I open and close again
I close my eyes
And chaos chimes
I open them
To a hollow voice
I close my eyes
With pounding thunders
I open them
To bleeding thoughts
I close my eyes
In ruthless turmoil
I open them
In frigid rigidity
…And then on some empty, vacant, bare day,
I close my eyes
And darkness engulfs
I open them
To be soothed by dark
….My Harmony
