Eyes Open

I want to start out and end with poems by Emily Dickinson.

"Silence is all we dread
There's Ransom in a Voice-
But Silence is Infinity
Himself have not a Face." -E.D.

Eyes Open

Soaring the clouds on a magic rug.
You glide over closely with a warm hearted hug.

Charming words flew all through the air.
These young, clueless feelings seemed too rare.

Then the eyes of realization open wide.
I look over slowly and see your snide.

Sorrow now spirals like a vortex of wind.
Thought you had told me that you were my friend.

Pulled me along on a string you once made.
Slicing me quick with one keen blade.

I know my heart shall soon come to rest.
I comprehend sadly to this lengthy test.

"In this short life
That only lasts an hour
How much -how little- is
Within our power."-E.D.

Thanks for reading.
Peace and love

Things in our life can change so quickly, especially when it comes to the behavior of others. Eventually people will reveal themselves and their true selves are revealed. It is hard to always keep our hearts open after we open our eyes.
