Resting My Eyes
I say
I'm resting my eyes
but as the darkness overwhelms me,
my mind races full of thought and images.
In this solitude of darkness
even the silence makes a noise
tapping at my brain
and whispering in my ears.
I fight to keep out the world
and its busyness of nonsense
listening to the quiet of inner peace
with warm sun on my face burning my soul.
With a deep inhaled breath
even heartbeat
tends to slow its pace
and the clock ceases to tick.
I feel and embrace the quiet solitude
as it surrounds and envelopes me
taking it all in,
I am free.
