One Eye Open, One Eye Closed (10/9/18)

There’s a stream with many melodies 

And fallen leaves from autumn trees 

That flows from emerald pastures 

Untouched by human earthly greed 


I once learned to travel there 

Still young enough to see 

The constellations up above 

Drawn in the wings of bees 


A thimble there, a kiss or two 

From Peter Pan in Neverland 

Made me see I couldn’t stand 

Forever in the promised land 


But if I closed my eyes to dream 

I’d see that stream behind the veil 

And hear the tender music play 

Like church bells in their holy way 


The truth was never really clear 

Outside the inside vision here 

One eye open, one eye closed 

I watch that lily water flow
