Closing My Eyes

When I close my eyes,

what do I see glimpses of my past chasing after me

When I close my eyes,

where do I wonder, in a place of pleasing me

When I close my eyes where do I go,

to a place of rest

When I close my eyes,

 I run to escape the pressure of my life

When I close my eyes,

what do I see,

 what I want to become when my eyes open again

When I close my eyes,

what do I see, an opportunity to shut out all the distractions competing for me

When I close my eyes,

I find myself resting to replenish me

When I close my eyes, I close them to take a pause before taking my next step

When I close my eyes,

I have a bunch of things happening to me and then I open them to act on the things I’ve experienced

When I close my eyes I believe I have escaped only to find the things are still out there waiting on me to face reality

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .

Stuff You Can Say Everyday by D. Mullis

My son wrote a book of his personal, one liner quotes. Never underestimate the power of simple statements! A very interesting read!
