PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When we open our eyes to the world we can see her beauty everywhere.

from the colors of the trees to the birds that populate the air.

When we open our eyes to the world and see the beauty she imparts

We can’t help but feel joy in our souls and love within our hearts

When we close our eyes to the world…some of her vibrancy fades away

We begin to see the colors around us in quite a different way.

When we close our eyes to the world…we no longer see the beauty she imparts

We allow prejudice to touch our souls and hate to invade our hearts.

I believe our eyes all start out equally…free to see beauty everywhere…

urging all of us to feel the joy…and love that floats upon the air.

Sight is a fragile sense, however…and so easily we can lose it

depending on those around us…and how we’re taught to use it. 

But even if we’re taught in such a way our eyes become impaired…

There is a silver lining…for sight can be repaired.

Which leads to a hope…a dream if you will…that one day all our minds will be free

that prejudice will fade into the past…when we are again taught how to see.

When we again open our eyes to the colors all around us 

again look out on the world and see

the beauty in our differences…

the beauty in our diversity.
