Close Then Feel

accept the tangible as real

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

close your eyes so you can see

shut down your senses embrace real

silence your ears so you can hear me

step outside yourself and feel

taste then feel

taste the air then touch my soul

feel and be as one with it all

and remember to close your eyes

when lost in an exquisite thrall

touch then feel

close you eyes shut your mind

shutdown all external sources

slip back into yourself as far as you can

prepare for the coming of forces

smell then feel

don’t let your senses become senseless

don’t become occluded flustered or trapped

just like stepping off a train

make sure you watch the gap

see then feel

open your eyes and open your mind

there is no twelfth of never

we got one shot and this is our lot

for here for now and for ever

hear then feel
