light flies through the window 
and slips out the other side
leaving just the darkness
which prefers to stay and hide
.
there must be kaleidoscopes 
for images to pass
how can there be true colors 
when the eyes are made of glass ?
.
dip into your palette
and select the perfect tools
those colors will be clear 
when seen through eyes made out of jewels
.
sound will sail through valleys 
with no single soul to hear
an echo with no memory 
and soon to disappear.
.
build your own cathedral
to encase these sacred tones
how can there be a blessing 
when the ears are made of stones ?
.
let the wonder lift you higher 
far away from your despair 
vibrations will embrace you 
heard through ears now filled with air
.
laughter stems from sorrow 
ever rising just to fall
you're filled with revelations 
then not feeling much at all
.
the shadows will surround you
till the sun breaks through the rain
how can one feel contentment 
if their song is one of pain ?
.
enjoy the world around you 
like a child with a new toy
and let your voice go flying 
in a simple song of joy

You describe so well the wonder of the sensations and how we percieve them Alvin.

The last stanza said it all for me.

I like the idea of darkness hiding. You have expressed the feeling of being closer to God outside very well. Agree with Parson,  is a lovely read
