Close Your Eyes…

And step inside

(Composit 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
