Under His Eye

The voices in my head

Follow me to bed

I can never find peace

I can’t find a healthy release

Persistent memories of days gone by

I look down at my feet and sigh

Then, out of frustration, I cry

Always under His watchful eye.

    Much like Dali’s “Persistence of Memory”, time is no friend of bad memories.

  2. I said to someone the other day – the things we carry – we have to carry them for life – there is no selective erasing of memories – we have to reach in there and tumble them like pebbles until they smooth off the rough edges. Or find something so powerful to focus on that they are all burnt away in its presence – for me that is life, poetry, beauty

      1. Truth – the most beautiful thing to hear, say, embody – wish there was more of it everywhere – we can only try. Wish it was a plague that everyone caught but I’m not sure the world could handle it

  5. In its stillness, the piece speaks volumes – well done. Personally, though, I would like to have read ‘in’ instead of ‘under.’ Blessings, Peter-James.
