Eye's Insight - What Comes After ?

 

 

What happens at the closing of my eyes ?
happens
in that sleep which all must know
at the beginning’s end, when fast and slow, -
the tide’s untidy eddies - snuff last sighs ?
Closing scenes once played out, what surprise
of dreamt redemption or of worm will show ?
My spirit could it reincarnate grow,
eyes see again, in time which Time defies ?
S
leep, all fears terminate, externals rise
all trammels left behind, while on Time’s flow
fears fade, played struggles cease. What light might glow ?
Terminate all hope, or found replies,
externals shed, where spirit is reborn ?
Rise up if You exist ... or faith's foresworn !

    Finally peace is found when we drift from the conscious to the unconscious. The acrostic style of this sonnet is unusual but works perfectly for it. Lovely. After reading this, I want to close my eyes and drift into that peaceful state.
