Premium Member Final resting place
Brick by brick I built my walls,
despite fires raging,
I preserved paths that connected
bridges between our breathless existence. 

Now that my heartbeats
have reached a dead end street,
let me rest my jaded head
upon your chest -
for fate has foretold it as my abode to forever sleep.

I was...

Premium Member Resting With Nature
Seeking rest from the city’s bray
Our farm lures with environs’  display.

Tendrils of wheatgrass , herbs may lean quite low 
      Amidst violets in bloom
Yet, the view  marks  grandeur.

Where do her dreams take her,
      beauty with hair of gold?

Does she dance among the stars tonight
     or dwell in a fantasy of passion?

Will she open her eyes if I call to her

Premium Member - When the Roses Are Resting -
They whisper of nothing

Beauty fades and dies

I knew that change was bound to come

The fall came and all the flowers broke together

Your veins deep in the earth will wait for spring breeze

I felt it not though the chilly wind blew hard, 
How could I feel cold in that deserted graveyard?
The cypress trees were sturdy and tall
Incredible the evergreen did not bend at all.

How could I feel cold in that deserted graveyard?
The tombs were covered with spent...

Rainy Day Blues (Final Resting Place Revised)
You're locked in your room and tied to your bed
There's blood on your pillow from the hole in your head
You lay and you wait, just welcoming death
No fight or struggle as you breathe your last breath
The rain is cold as it thunders and storms
But your...

Restlessly Resting
I sat in the field
my heart in my hand
grass blows beneath me 
it sways where I stand
when the spell binds loose
and it's all in my head
I'm restlessly resting awake in my bed...

Resting In These Tennessee Hills

Lazy mornings in these Tennessee hills
Horned owl in tree behind house hoots all night
Sometimes annoys but often gifts a thrill
As country-fired moon sends us brighter light!

Mellow breeze, waltz morn rays with soft touch
Tall trees wrapping such gentle slopping yards
Often this beauty...

My mind is in need of rest
just for a moment, brief,
a silent little repose here
will surely bring to me relief.

My heavy eyelids gently fall
and shut out the entire world,
my hair lays down and relaxes
even though it has been curled.

I breathe in slowly and deeply
my heartbeat...

A day of weary mind and body, 
She found herself in a comfy bed, 
So soft and relaxing, she lay back. 
Then both eyes started to rest, while 
hands were together on top of her stomach. 
So comfortable feeling, she started to snore. 
Sign of...

Resting Under My Favorite Old Tree



 Lucky bird sings a jolly little tune
 of ravishing sunshine in late June
 Graced by soft breeze to give a thrill
 among the junipers on lakeside hill

 I stop my journey into Nature's treat
 to breathe in this melody...
