so they were blind
then given two eyes to see
they struggled no longer
their vision now free

uncovered from darkness
they fed off of light
consumed and devoured each thing in plain sight
what had once intrigued their naked minds
was disposed from their thoughts and tightly confined

vivid colors
of burnt orange, a sea of deep green
were now just lost in an empty dream
what they saw was not radiant
not the slightest bit fair
they looked past the beauty
their world was now bare

feeling exposed
and voracious for more
the ones given two eyes
opened a door
inside of this portal
was a world dimly lit
they fell suddenly into a darkened abyss

light started to fade
they collapsed in despair
the ones given two eyes
no longer saw what was there
a shroud of darkness covered their eyes
blankets of sorrow embedded with cries...

open your mind to what is plainly sight
absorb the world and take in the light
do not let the universe pass you by
allow it to enter
and open your third eye
