To Rest

...is to stay

and heal one's soul

stop and breathe,

it’s not time to go


The months are numbered

the days are through

the year is ending

look how far

we've managed

to endure


candles and fragrant flowers are steady

like ice, the breeze gets chilly

bus ports and terminals are busy

pillows and long night sleeps are waiting


The rested have slept for ages

ours is yet to come

for our physical bodies became wasted

to rest is our way to become


Days of remembering the fallen is numbered,

honor the stories they've left

For us to cherish ours, rejuvenate the living flesh

For long we've fought our battles

the time to repose is best

Enjoy and remember, live and loosen up

Hush now, my dear, lay down

and rest.
