I Close my Eyes and See

I close my eyes and see The warmth of the sun on my skin Its shifting yellow and oranges Stroking my eyelids carefree

I close my eyes and see A thousand rainbows dancing At the tip of my eyelashes Vying to break free

I close my eyes and see The beating sounds of train wheels Heart of a machine Walking me to London Bridge

I close my eyes and see The caresses of the wind Creeping cold October embrace Wrapped along my exposed body

I close my eyes and see The sweet smell in the cup Tickling my nostrils With a thick mango lassi

I close my eyes to see A world of senses Language unseen Rooting me in that space The time of an instant.
