When I Close My Eyes I See Poem by Bharati Nayak

Sometimes,
A day's hustle bustle and demands of others
Weigh down on me
Draining out my energy
I seek an escape from this mess
In tiredness I close my eyes
I try to calm my mind
I drive out the day's crazy images
Words, shouts, noise and news
I remain silent
Then in that darkness, I feel lightheaded
In that blankness I like to hold your image
O Lord, I seek your light and blessings
To wade through these worldly woes!
