When I Close My Eyes

When I close my eyes, the world dissolves,

When I close my eyes, my spirit evolves.

Memories drift like clouds in the sky,

Moments of laughter, a whispered goodbye.

When I close my eyes, I hear the seas,

When I close my eyes, I feel the breeze.

The wind tells stories I cannot forget,

Of dreams I’ve chased and ones unmet.

When I close my eyes, I see the light,

When I close my eyes, darkness turns bright.

Faces of loved ones, warm and near,

Echoing love I hold most dear.

When I close my eyes, fear disappears,

When I close my eyes, courage appears.

The heart beats freely, no chains, no ties,

A world of wonder, limitless skies.

When I close my eyes, I find my way,

When I close my eyes, night turns to day.

Each breath a journey, each dream a flight,

A soul awakened in the still of night.
