Best Restful Poems

Most restful sleep since... being in utero

Courtesy restless leg syndrome
spouse called me expletive rat fink
ousted me out the bed with plink
as lovely bones almost got extinct,
whence consoled self singing ditty
Skidamarink a-dink a-dink

makeshift burrow of pillows nsync
shuteye analogous to grateful dead,
Elysian Fields I did drink
yours truly...

This restful spirit longs 
for love that measures
inspiring pleasures that might come
my restless spirit knows 
that it will not come ...

Each day I wake 
looking for my sleep
at night I sleep among my candles
that I light before my rest
of endless words ...

Putting my feet on...

And the Rest is...Restful/Restless


tonight

At last, he sleeps
beneath the stars and,
for once, beneath the grass.


tonight

at last, she sleeps
beneath the stars and
for once, above her horse.

tonight

One sleeps peacefully
one, fitfully.
One free,
one free of free.

tonight

Both sleep.

tomorrow

One rises,
one sleeps

a mother,
her horse.

tonight
One dreams of tomorrow.
tonight
One dreams of yesterdays....

A foggy mist of a cloud
Swirls around the mountain top
A pure, soft, sight to be seen
In this vision, I stop

Then I'm lifted for a moment
As light as can be
I rest in this vision
That floats in front of me

A foggy mist of a cloud
Carries me along
Swirling...

Successful and Restful

Consider someone to be successful,
Around them feel comfortable and restful
Settled down with self perfectly at peace
Tension and anxiety will never increase;
Family similar to you have a nest full.

Desmond Tutu strove hard to battle desultory extremity?
Humanity's hurdle is to sustain and esteem diversity.

One day, He saw a "Whites Only" sign on the exterior bath gate.
Said, "What is the difference between white and black pee fate?"

To all of you who wished me
  a relaxing, restful vacation
Your wishes carried me through 
  a bit of aggravation

A little insomnia here
  A cellulitis attack there
Things were going south
  I swear...

But come the Passover Holiday
  The Festive mood saved...

There she is, in her bed so warm.
In a haven of pure delight and peace.
She does not have to rise.

The morning plays its minutes and hours away.
In and out of dreams, she is.
Stirring in and out of slumber to the hum of the cental heating.

Outside...

Darkness settles igniting dreams
Sown in a sleep with awoken thoughts
Places to travel, people to see
Hidden emotions evolve
Beneath the moon and stars,
With belief anything is possible
A creative mind is at work…
Eyes closed, calm body, restful journeys
The night can bring a world apart
From the active days we...

The haunting demons have left my side,
And the darkness is descending over me
Driving our my hopes and dreams.  In their
place, the knowing darkness gives me peace.

The coldness follows and prepares to drive
away the caustic pains of life.  My eyes wait
for the abiding sleep,...

Flight
Unfolds
To reach high
Higher, higher
Freedom in the sky
Only soft clouds around
Soaring in peace with wing span
From here to there and everywhere
Gliding ever so gently to be
A soul at rest, floating eloquently

Grace and Solitude

Peaceful stillness covers me - wide eyes embraced when I see
Luna rise up with her pale face, with a humble yet simple grace,
That waxes large and then wanes, beckoning to clear windowpanes;
Hypnotic awe in harvest light or when blue moons ride starry night...

Love, do not waken yet
I’d like to see you dream
For the forever time:
Your troubled day is at an end,
Your frowns are gone and harmonies
Are heard in speech and word.

Love, do not waken yet.
I’d like to see you dream
Into a future filled with joy,
Where all is...

Tired mind heaviness. 
Long day of varied working. 
Restful sleep tonight....

I know you’re there, just out of sight, 
There among the black far-reaches
Like a rider of dreams in the night
Searching for reason that impeaches. 

You have left behind no traces
Of where you’ve gone or maybe sent.
Your journey seeks familiar faces
Yet posed in unfamiliar bent. 

And...
