Close Your Eyes…

And step inside

(Composite by Author, © Todd B Harrington)

Looking out
Never looking in
Close your eyes
And step inside

Surprised by what you see?
Shouldn’t be
This is you
You’ve been here all along

Looking out
Never looking in
Blinded by what’s on the outside
Never saw what’s in

Close your eyes
And step inside
Close the door and stay a while
Don’t leave too soon
You might miss who you are

Looking out
Never looking in
You keep missing what’s on the other side
Consumed by what’s out, not what’s in

Close your eyes
And step inside
Not comfortable here?
No surprise there

Looking out
Never looking in
No wonder you don’t know your way
You’re lost on the outside, even more so on the inside

Close your eyes
And step inside
Is it too dark in here?
Light the candle, you might see more
Just need more time here, less time there

Less looking out
More looking in
Dig deep, it’s all here
Most of the answers come from within
Soon enough, what’s inside becomes visible

You never spend much time on this side
Must be too much time looking outside
So take a close look while you’re here
Time to close your eyes
And step inside
