Wide Open

Wide Open

Eyes wide open,
it's not a dream.
Everything's really
not what it seems.

Doors agape are
forever closed.
Life is at stake,
the question posed.

Why do we live
to ride the wave?
The simple truth,
beyond us lays.

Ships run aground
on broken rocks.
We've time enough
to watch the clocks.

One road is right,
the other wrong.
Lost in journeys
that don't take long.

We are so blind
but now we see.
Eyes wide open
with a need to be!
