When our eyes are shut,
All that we can see is the darkness.
Yet, we trust that we will be able to see once again,
The sunlight after the storm clouds and the rain.
With our eyes tightly shut, we see a light.
We know that there is a world outside.
We are living in that world, yet we cannot see,
All its wondrous marvels, mystery, and beauty.
Open your eyes slowly now, do not rush.
We do not want to see the wonders in a rush.
Open your eyes and look around at this wonderful world.
You will see that it is filled with gems of beauty and pearls.
Keep those eyes wide open from the start of every day.
Watch all the world offers you, do not turn your eyes away.
Now that your eyes are open to our world,
Can you see all the wonders in the golden light?
Every object, place, and person does shine so brightly.
Every scenery is a miracle and a gift of magical delight.
With our eyes open we can appreciate this world,
With its ugliness, its happiness, sadness, and beauty.
These are memories we carry inside through eternity.
Open your mind’s eye and see so much more in life.
Every time that you meditate and connect to the universe.
You are one with the spheres of cosmic spiritual verse.
Watch as the light of the divine shines down on everyone.
We are all its creations from the flowers, the Lion, and the Sun.
Open your mind’s eye and you will see the radiant light,
Shining in every living soul, so alive and so bright.
With your inner eye of spirituality, you will know,
That we are all part of this universal river that flows.
