Living Dreams

we keep our eyes shut

shut as we sleep to get rid of the light

shut, closed, and locked to watch dreams at night

we keep our eyes shut

but do not keep them shut too long

eyes wide shut lead one to wander

as dreams hither, thither pass by

leaving us to ponder:

what have I not seen?

what have I let run by?

what have I missed?

open your eyes

open to see

for seeing is believing, seeing is truth

see opportunity

see danger

see love

see life

open eyes are not for seeing dreams

open eyes are for living them
