Through my eyes

things didn't always seem so clear.

Decisions before me weren't so vivid

and day to day life

was limited in its possibilities.

Hopes,dreams and aspirations

seem to be a fantasy

and life just passed by

without reason or rhyme.

It was as if I had been asleep  for so long

and living in a daze,

when suddenly I awoke from my slumber

with eyes anew. 

I began a new journey,

seeing things so clearly.

Colors became

brilliant,

life took on new hope and purpose,

dreams began to focus.

The world was my playground

and I had yet to experience it.

My five senses finally awakened

and something began growing

from deep inside me,

Radiance.

Suddenly not only the world around me

looked and felt more beautiful but

I did too.

The possibilities,

splendor, and beauty

of loving yourself

opens up a whole new world

that some never experience.

Something changed inside

and helped me see,

Art was never so inspiring,

Music had never sounded so melodic,

Love never seemed so infectuous

and life never seemed 

so worthwhile before.

And now

I wish everyone could see the world

through my eyes.
