When I close my eyes,
my mind blossoms.
Dreams I dare not pen
take hold of my hand,
and lead me into enlightened lands.
∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼
My poem was inspired by Poe’s brilliant words:
“Deep into that darkness peering,
long I stood wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming
dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”
(Edgar Allan Poe)
