Eyes Open

---

There’s a small moment

before my eyes open,

where I can feel my soul

retract from its journey far out.

The place where it goes at only night

when my body goes to sleep

and my mind,

my soul awakens.

I long to remember these trips,

sometimes I feel on the edge of placing it

right before it slips my mind forever

The emotions stay behind however

what an odd occurrence,

to feel a way about something

you can’t remember,

like a long lost lover.
