Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Sunday Is the Day of Rest

So much work to be completed
Sunday laze
I am unhurried
Calm, unconcerned
I have completed one task.

Today is my day of rest.
I will honor it as such.
Honoring my Lord’s edict.
Through prayer, meditation and delightfulness.
I repose on my porch, unhurried.

A plastic bag takes off from my feet
Like a bird in flight; she is carried away
I do not rush after her, knowing what will be will be
God’s wind sends the bag into a swirl.
She is returned to my feet.

I am enjoying my lazy, peaceful Sunday.
I am in God’s hands, 
the pattern of the bag
has shown me this truth.

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 30, 2020 at 10:58 PM Sunday is my favorite day-both a restful day, and a holy day, and your poem describes it beautifully. :=) Caren Krutsinger March 31, 2020 at 5:08 AM Sundays are wonderful - usually the day of worship and family; I want to get back to that.
