Behind Closed Eyes

Your eye lids seal you off from the rest of the world. You can dive into the pool of thoughts contained in your brain and conjure up anything you want. You can see into the future. You can reflect on the past. When you close your eyes, there are no limits. There are no hurdles in your way. The world is laid out for you; you just have to decide how you want to use it. When you close your eyes you stop your innermost thoughts from spilling out for everyone to hear; a container for your wildest fantasies and deepest feelings. A filter that allows you to decide what can come out and what must stay in. Every time you close your eyes, for just a blink or for a long sleep, you unlock the door to yourself. When you close your eyes you simply see blackness, but beyond that blackness is the mystery of yourself waiting to be unraveled.
