Close your eyes

close your eyes
for the fear of the night will only subside
close your soul to the yearnings or you will fly
close your eyes to all the things
that life brings
the blue sky morning
the rays of sun touch our lives
the sun warms us slowly
but we have sought other suns and other paths
the visions behind our eyes
the thoughts so grand
losing all our secrets
like the farmer sowing his seed
maybe our dreams too will sprout and give life
maybe we'll open our eyes and see that our fears are our hopes
then we will stand renewed
uncovered beneath the hands of God
