With Our Eyes Closed Tight

(A poem by Sal Godoij.)

 

With our eyes closed tight

Clenched fists, and as if to warn

The world with our cry

It's the way we're born

It's the way we feel the light.

Rough or soft, winding or straight

A road lies ahead, a road we must walk

Or the road isn't there, and it's just empty talk.

Yet I say to myself, you must be wise

You must see through the disguise

Listen to the best advise

Become your own jury

Write your own history.

Alas, but death sets us apart

From what we love, from what we hate

And so, holding our tears at the celestial Gate

Do we look back, do we still fear?

What do we dread? Aye, it's not death

No, it's not death that we dread

But to leave the life we've lived

Having nothing in our will, still, nothing achieved.
