Eyes Wide Open.

Eyes Wide Open.

A Poem by Thomas Fitzgerald
"

A risky experiment of words.

"
ONE
To sleep - is to dream,
To dream - is to think,
To think - is to feel,
To feel  - is to blink.
TWO
To touch - is to sense,
To sense - is to reach,
To reach - is to give,
To give - is to get.
THREE
The eye - is to see,
To see - is to live,
To live - is to die,
To die - is to end.

Creative.I like the style.I personaly think you should say
to die is to live again.
I have a hard time thinking of death as the end.I still like the poem alot.I just can not identify with the last line.My friend however says that death is the end and she completly agree's with you.You doomsdayers!!!
This is a great poem cause it has me and Noka arguing.How can you two believe there is nothing after death?Why would we waste all our lives becoming better people if it all ends in less than 100 years?

I have to go have a talk about death with my friend now.

I like the way you set-up the poem. Each words could have many meaning. I like words. Make reading and thinking worthwhile. Thank you for the very good poem.
