This day as the dawn approaches,
I seal my eyelids shut
My tongue lays still, ceases to speak
Ears bereft of hearing and still
In this silence and solitude
Seeds are being planted without
My feeling it, thoughts being cultivated
Even with the sounds of nothingness.
Somewhere within that darkness
Somewhere within that void of blackness
The leaves turn greener
The sky turns bluer, birds singing more
Beautifully than I ever remember
And my heart catches their rhythm
Like the strings of a thousand violins
In perfect pitch, in perfect tune,
Somewhere, as I unseal my eyes
And open my ears, life has been created
Love comes through the door
As it never had before.
I seal my eyelids shut

Ears bereft of hearing and still

Somewhere within that void of blackness
The leaves turn greener
The sky turns bluer, birds singing more
Beautifully than I ever remember
And my heart catches their rhythm
Like the strings of a thousand violins
In perfect pitch, in perfect tune,
Somewhere, as I unseal my eyes
And open my ears, life has been created
Love comes through the door
As it never had before.
