When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes, I feel alive. I'm free to exist in my own mind.

When I close my eyes, it's a place I can hide. A place to escape, pause, re-wind.

When I close my eyes, once light now dark. I breathe soft and slow, to the sound of my heart.

When I close my eyes the sun once warm, now begins to fade, through the clouds, a dusky haze.

When I open my eyes I am now free, like the trees that stand above me, I'm where I need to be.
