Rest

RSM0812

Rest in the shadows of time,

Lay my head, it’s not a crime.

And eternally fade to black.

Like fallen soldiers don’t come back.

And give me peace.

As I roll up my sleeves.

And find myself in my dreams.

In peace and retrieves.

    A plea for peace and raises questions of how peace is obtained. Cleanly written and with good meter and thought provoking

  • Poetic Licence

    A clever interesting write asking how we obtain peace and a request for peace themselves, enjoyed the read

  • Cheeky Missy

    Lovely and intriguing, the inherent calm of the rest invoked pervading as I mull the suggestion playing itself out. Sweetly rendered in tasteful brevity with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy whose serenity seems to call, thank you for sharing.
