If I Close my Eyes
If I close my eyes,
I am a princess
wearing silk draped around me and
gold around my fingertips.
If I close my eyes,
I am riding a white horse
over a meadow with wildflowers,
oh how she runs!
If I close my eyes,
I am dancing with fairies
in a circle of community
somehow I keep up with their twirls.
If I close my eyes,
I am standing on a clifftop
I jump off, but don't fall
instead I fly with the dragons.
When I open my eyes
I realize I should focus.
Enough, but not enough,
so that I can't go back.
