It Means Something

Close Your Eyes

I dare you to close your eyes

And tell me what you see

You may say darkness, nothing, black

But that's not what I dared

To see something is not to see nothing

I see a million stars like the ones in the night sky twinkling

I see colours and shapes dancing and flashing in an elegant ballet

When I face the light, the black becomes orange and pink

I can see veiny rivers that twist turn and break

There's beauty there of which most miss or neglect

Nothing can be beautiful if you know where to look

For even nothing can be anything in the mind's eye

So I dare say again

close your eyes

And tell me what you see
