way poem #16: open to new

Frank Prem

it’s a new world
every time
I open my eyes

 

because I
had a new thought
looked in a new place
surprised by an idea
I noticed the dust swirl
under the sunlight
was profounded
by my joy

 

it’s a new world
every time my eyes close

 

because I see the pattern
of the lamp’s light
play across my eyelid
watch as all the dark spots
move

 

drift away in an idea-
boat on a thought sea
the pulse and pulse
of my blood flow
feel my heart rate rise
when I think of you
and me
in a wide new world

 

it’s a brand brand
brand new world
every thing that I see
every time that I think
every blink when I close my
eyes are open
to new worlds

    Another great one, Frank!
    Enjoyed the read and I too shall close my eyes and drift away in a beautiful and pleasing idea and try to lift myself out of this dark pit I’ve managed to fall in!

        Boundless new worlds materialize with each new blink, indeed. So well put in your words, Frank.
