Weary Soul

I am weary down to the reaches of my soul
My body is tired, my mind is exhausted,
and most of all my soul aches with grief and overwhelm

How do you fix a weary soul?
Leaving a difficult workplace may help,
taking a few days off and seeking joy

I need greenspace, not in the city
but in a natural environment and it is on 
the top of my to do list to seek out nature

I need friendship, which I have oodles of,
and I will reach out and spend some time
with my kindred spirits that bring me joy

I need encouragement, which I get from
many sources, but lately the source has been
from God, with love and guidance

I need the flow of words that is hard to accomplish
when you work a full day in a difficult environment,
I am hoping time will open my word gates

Most of all, I need to rest in my faith
God reminds me every day that I am loved, I am his
and he is with me.  I will rest in him.
