eyelids and earlids
beauty from color
shapes
scenery
glimmer from a lake
all lost with eyelids closed
birds songs in the forest,
symphony of city car horns
beeping to a crescendo
cooing of a morning dove
breathing of a lover
all lost with ear lids shut
is one better
to lose than the other
one would have to ask Helen Keller
but would she really know what’s missed
when eyelids are closed from sights
or ear lids are shut from sounds
open your lids
love life to the limits
take in marvelous sights
waltz to glorious sounds

88 fingers
The simplest pleasures in life are the ones we take for granted. Very good poem.
