Behind Closed Eyes

Behind closed eyes

Colours dance

With sparkling stars

Silver whirlpools spin

The mind’s eye stares back

Entranced with inner vision

Of endless galaxies

Floating cloud drifts

In a never-never land

Above, beyond and around

Within

All light internal

Neurons sparking

Edges shimmer

Red, red, red

In a dark palette

As shadow eyes stare

Behind closed lids.
