Anxious

I tried to sleep,
I tried to rest.
I closed my eyes,
And tried my best.

They were there,
Behind the light.
I closed my eyes,
All last night.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
