Views

Eyes are opened

wider than before

with a view that is translucent

to what I had seen before.

This view can be scary 

and at times I wish I were blind

because from here the lights are so bright

once before they were dim

and my prospects were not as advanced

as they seem to be now.

The view is ever changing

and I sometimes feel like I have

entered a new land

where I am foreign to the policy 

of keeping quiet and keeping 

this view to myself.
