Eyes Closed

I walk a path that exists only in my mind


A place of calm and quiet and serenity

Where I have the truest friends

The timeworn spirits always near.

We walk and talk and sing the day away

Visiting those who have gone on

And trusting that the springtime will bring

Renewal to our hearts and souls.

We wade through turquoise waters

We beat back jungle brush

We climb unscalable rock faces

And sit atop the mountain in campfire light

Telling stories, sharing laughter

Listening to the wild sounds of the earth

The crickets, the coyotes, bears and beavers

Creatures of the night keeping the balance

All the while my eyes are closed.
