Nature At Rest
The soil is dreaming in a silent technicolour, peaceful and alone. It exhales, gently without the tragic trampling of mankind snapping roots, without the world above and its usual stampede. Gone. Branches noticed it first - slowly having time to stretch, to watch clouds; time to open their barks wide and bows sprawling and luscious, away from smokes...

Sleepy little baby lying on billows of sheets Stories read lovingly to lay him to rest Kindly Grandma whispered words repeat Softly painting dreams on a hugging-pillow caressed Fairies that frolic in mist laden places Carry Johnny's dreaming far and wide Cherry blossoms fall to lighten their paces Imaginary wings find their heavenly glide Muted harmonies grow dimmer and dimmer Hooted owls call with...

I long for a day I'm carried away to hide under a rock. Inscribed with my name, engraved with two dates. Where peace can be found that life cannot mock. I don't mean this in morbid intent, it's not a wish to die. but the simple reprieve from the pain that won't leave. a call for relent, a body now...
