Y// Not Yet Closing My Eyes

Just before drifting into sleep at night, all compassion and kindness of a day, that has been passing again too quickly, crosses the eye of my mind and heart. In these enchanting moments of darkness, silence prevails and thoughts seem fading. My soul, a bit shy but surfacing in glory, pours passion and peace in endless harmony The air weighs in and presses my skin God's healing power descends from above. It invades my pores, it invades my lungs and soon, as a wave, reaches every cell. The soft pillow holds my head. Sleep invites, waiving wonder dreams but the magic and the peace of the moment keep me from closing my eyes.
