With Closed Eyes

By Sheena Marie D'Souza

Of starry skies and blinking lights

A night of dancing fire flies.

With little hopes and big dreams

When she closed her eyes, she felt alive.

A familiar place, a scent she knew

That’s where it all was true.

With wider smiles and sorrows few

Scarlet and yellow, but never blue.

Under the veil of her eyes closed

Away from the chaos, her reverie grows.

With true hearts and tears never

Together for infinity, eternity, forever.

For in her dream the magic lasts,

Open eyes – a thing of the past.

With less hurt and more prayer

Atleast in her dreams, you are there.

To always have her eyes sealed

Live in a world that has been healed.

Where all loved and no one hated

Be in the world, with closed eyes, she created.
