Resting Poems - Poems about Resting

There is a stone behind my eyes it sits calmly in a troubled sea. My peace is to rest there on that stones round summit naked of all emotion. I am not cold of heart just divorced from the waves. When I wish to swim, then I swim, often while watching others drown within themselves....

Then truth must become a resting place For my soul When my thoughts scatter As ripples upon the sea Created by pebbles Tossed carelessly When my heart bruises As fragile as wings of a butterfly Ripped and torn as by a child Just passing by When my feet are tattered As painful as a soldier’s wounds Yet he still struggles to stand From dusk to noon When my head...

Resting my faith in you through the storm, I will cry out to you Oh sweet Lord, If your voice can calm a raging sea, Cease my thoughts and speak peace through me. When the sea rises above my head, I will not drown in the thoughts of death, Focus my heart on you till the end, I want to see...
