Open The Eyes

I wake up from an unending sleep

All I see is darkness around

An eerie silence engulfs the world around

Am I dead, or am I the only one alive?

Out there I see a ray of light

Rush to it I do, in hope and despair

I don't want to die, I don't want to be alone

Alas! I haven't enjoyed this beautiful world yet.

The light comes in through a peeping hole

Oh yes! there is light outside

But I struggle to open that door

Locked from the outside is it, I start to wonder

Strength is pulled in from every sinew

I want to get out, I want to see the light

With great trouble I open the door

To the world of light, to the world of hope

The world is indeed alive

Random birds singing a graceful song

A breeze calming my fears

A drizzle as if to wash away my pain

Oh this world, how beautiful you are

Took you for granted all this while

Closed my eyes to the magic it gave

So as to forget what it is on offer

Realisation kicks in, regrets drive in

I don't want to walk back for sure

There is a lot to enjoy here!

There is a lot to live here!

Eyes were wide shut, open they are now

To this wide world and its beauty

I want to live, I want to enjoy

This beautiful world and all it has for me...
