Behind Closed Eyes

Carlyle E. Vice 1988

April 23 
Behind closed eyes,
Time stands still,
  And reality,
Transforms into Millions,
Of fragmented shards.
Each embedded with worlds,
untold.
Waiting to be plucked,
Into existence,
As new truths unfold.
Imprinting on the souls,
Of those willing,
To relinquish control.
