Day of Rest

For Christians it is Sunday 
For Jews Saturday 
The idea of 
              a 
              day 
              of 
              rest 
is a beautiful one 
The daily grind 
beats down many 
   leaving them frazzled 
and on edge 
 To refresh the soul 
and make one whole 
and make one's  peace with creation !
Those are the hallmarks 
   of the Sabbath 
Turn on your inner light! 
It is what we must cling to 
if we do not 
             wish 
to be swept away 
in the tidal wave 
known as existence

Peaceful... we all need to refresh and reinvigorate ourselves to become better equipped at coping with life's exigences. Well said Matthew! Best wishes, Keith
