When I close my eyes
Freestyle whatever comes to mind when you read “when I close my eyes”

blank

when i close my eyes

i observe my observation

which notices the dark, blank canvas of thought

and i recognize how it manifests

or in some way is contacted by

ideas

when i close my eyes

and think intentionally

it is amazing to me

that my whole life is a dream

bordering on nothing

but only if i let it, maybe.

when i close my eyes

and focus on the images behind them

and realize that they are only there in my awareness

that the only real aspect of who i am exists

as a result of my decision making

i begin feel a great weight on me

and am reminded that my values are what's heavy

that everything outside of that is neutral

and does not have to affect me
