Eternal Rest

Though my eyes are closed my mind remains open

To needless thoughts and misconceived expectations

It feels forced to have my eyes closed now but as my body lay in rest I feel relaxed

For this moment

When shadows flow like silk, across the sunlight that blankets my skin With such effortless movement they have my attention

I open my eyes to see what's made them But there is nothing

Only when I close my eyes again do they return to soothe my restless mind And with them, I allow a new state to take over

Body and mind harmonized I am truly at peace
