WITH CLOSED EYES


 Many things' are noticed when one can't see,


 Against our face, the wind, or a bird chirping 
 In a tree.

 From the air, the sound of a plane soaring by,


 Thunderclaps as loud as a sonic boom.


 People laughing with each other, driving past,


 Dogs' barking In a near by yard as they're listened 
 Too.

 The sound of music heard through an open window,


 Two people In love saying goodbye at the door.


 There are many, many things' we notice with closed 
 Eyes,

 Not only the darkness that's with us Inside.


 The mind will open at the time our eyes close,


 And see more than can be Imagined In this dark world.
