I close my eyes

I close my eyes
facing the sun.
Under the eyelids the rose color of hope.
I close my eyes
and I hear the sounds of life.
The honking of a car
a mother calling
the workers next door, who are joking.
I close my eyes and I smell
the food being cooked,
the rose that has grown old and is wilting.
I close my eyes
and I feel the breeze caressing my face.
I close my eyes
and I sink deeply, gently, where the hum of life
is silent.
Where the five senses no longer matter.
I’m looking for that point, the unmovable, the stable
on which the anxieties of life
and the insecurities of existence can be balanced.
I close my eyes
and I see the light,
bright light hovering behind the eyelids.
A sign that the world does not end here…
