When Eyes Close

When eyes close
with a force
pushing
a large stone
on a current
of a stream
flowing
glowing
showing
somethings balanced
somethings hidden
on a needle tip
spreading on the eyes
of a thousand lashes
each dripping
a single tear
of fortitude

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.
