Permission to Close Your Eyes

If you close your eyes You will hear who I am You will hear in me Every mother’s kiss upon her baby’s hand. If you close your eyes You will hear in me Every lover’s beckoning call The ocean roar, the wind’s fall. If you close your eyes And open your heart Your hands will tell you Of a soft touch. In your ears you will hear The wolf’s dark cry Ringing of aloneness Reaching for the sky. If you open your heart The words will rush in Lush…free Of how we are meant to be. When I close my eyes And feel my heart Tears open up the spaces Where new love can start. ©Glenna Wiseman
