What you Cannot See


What you cannot see will hurt you. 

What you cannot see will bite. 

You fear your eyes are opening, 

So squeeze them tighter,

Block the light.

 

What you cannot see is beautiful.

What you cannot see will scream.

It sings beyond your comprehension,

A song you hear in dreams.

 

What you cannot see will haunt you.

What you cannot see will stalk.

You feel your eyes are opening,

The world is brighter, 

Let us walk.
