Close my eyes.
Open my eyes.
Still dark.
Open my eyes.
Close my eyes.
Still dark.
Close my eyes.
Try to see
what were my dreams.
Pushing against
an invisible screen.
It bends,
but I still can’t see.
Open my eyes
Still dark.
Reaching out,
trying to collect the light,
but there is no light here,
only an endless,
empty,
black.
Can’t tell
if I’m floating,
or falling.
Still dark.
Close my eyes.
Open my eyes.
Close my eyes.
Open my eyes.
There used to be
something here,
I’m almost sure of it.
I don’t remember
being born of the void.
If this is oblivion,
then what am I to perceive it?
I remember,
there was something
here before.
Open my eyes.
Close my eyes.
Still dark.
Close my eyes.
Open my eyes.
Still dark.
Alone,
here in this vast emptiness.
No moon,
no stars,
no Earth,
no face;
nothing.
Just me.
Close my eyes.
Open my eyes.
