Lowered eyelids on stars of eyes
black mantle velvet on moonlight smile
in silence of night slept
work from its day to rest.

It's late on Friday afternoon
The Sabbath Queen is coming soon
The sun has run her daily course
We've milked the cow and fed the horse
There's only one thing left to do
  ~ With candles lit, bid work adieu...

Your smile
Your hug
Your kiss
Your caress
Your tenderness

Holding you in the night
Perfume scented tranquility
Bringing me humility
Your breath upon my chest

Is my life, till the day I rest
In my grave
Missing you...

Jutting rock into the sea
Lighthouse stands alone on thee
Flashing warnings stay away
Very dangerous are these ways

Come around to safe harbor
Paradise awaits those tomorrow
A day of rest awaits no sorrow
Refreshing time for soul bestowed...

country church memories stay
sun lined faces callused hands
heads bow in prayer the choir stands
Sunday.......... the world away
  
humble prayer forgiveness day
six days of work a day of rest
a time missing I attest
Sunday.......... a world away...

Calm day of rest
Now works clear zest


Watch day make whole
The willing soul


Here watch time ease
A touch of peace


Pray to now find
Fond peace of mind


Sunday my dear
Grows happy cheer

The week begins, wind at my back
  By week's end, my front it attacks

Each day, I give it my best
  Jump on each task with admirable zest

And yet, by Friday afternoon
  The Sabbath cannot come too soon

Day of rest, day of prayer
  Refresh the spirit, hang in there...

Sunday sounds like-
A child's laughter, that can bring a smile 
Memories of someone
You haven't seen in a while
A day that is flying by so fast
So gleeful and pure
One that you're gonna miss, for sure
Sunday is a day for rest and reset
Pledging to give the new week your very best...

It's Dark.
The heat of the day lingers through the night.
I'm lost in this old, creaky house.
I want time to stop.
The thought of losing her keeps me from ending this day with rest.
I think of you.
The still frames of your beautiful soul flash through my mind,
keeping me sane, 
safe from the madness creeping over me....

I live the day to dream the night
As I dream the night to live the day
I work the day to rest the night
As I rest the night to work the day
I pay the day to gain the night
As I gain the night to pay the day
I give the day to earn the night
As I earn the night to give the day
Life is all about time
As time is all about day and night...

Friday afternoon, the day winds down
  My Muse, exhausted, limps around
Her brain, 'most fried, her vitality shot
  "I'm out of ink," she moans. "And I'm not---

"Not to worry, my friend," I console her
  "Sabbath draws near, so we'll both defer
 to the Lord above, Who on this day did rest
   to return to work after ~ completely refreshed...

The week has gone now you can rest
Mowing the lawn picking up leaves
Painting the house repairing the sink
Fixing a fence or trimming a tree

Sunday is finally here a day of rest
An hour of church singing songs
Then fixing a leaking roof or gutter
Cleaning up the garage from clutter

Then back to work on Monday
Finally, five days of rest...

On Sundays she likes to drive
To the country or the coast.
Cheered by fields of blazing hue,
singing hymns from home.
She threads her way
through Sussex lanes
on her only day of rest.

A substitute for azure blue,
the Channel sky is pebble grey grey.
She lets herself be soothed again
by the water’s suck and sigh.
Finding peace,
she takes her ease
between the earth and sky....

God's angels come to church
God's angel the do come to church on every Sunday.
They come to listen to our prayers.
They listen to prayer of sadness and some of joy.
The angels hear of loved ones we lost and loved ones that are sick.
God send them to hear the prayer so he can answer each one.
In his own way
God's angels they come to church to be with us.
on this Sunday his day of rest....

Crocs, they are my most comfortable shoes
They are a lifesaver for my sore feet
Socks and slippers on at home, I refuse
Grays or colors, fashion that can't be beat
Walk in them all day or rest for a snooze
Stay comfortable in the cold and heat
Heard a rumor they may stop making them
Absurd, sore feet would be a huge problem

Sundays are
A day of rest
A day of worship
The day people dress up nice and go to church

Sundays are
Carefree, relaxing days 
To spend reading 
Your treasured bible

Sundays are
A day of prayer
A day to spend with God
A day to keep your hands clean
And a day to do no work

Sundays are
A day of rest, 
Worship 
And a day 
To go to church

Yes that's what Sundays mean to me...

Heed this story
It’s about me


Watch what I say
Of quest this day


Words of a bard
When plain is hard


Empty gets full
Wise is the fool


Full needs empty
To know plenty


Out-of- the-box
Strange paradox


All that you seek
Seeks your fine peek


When less is more
True wealth now spores


A day of rest
Funs pleasure best

I imagine a universe without god
What a powerful man !
I imagine a world without man
What a lovely place !
I imagine a country without politicians
What a peaceful land !
I imagine daily trade without businessmen
What a simple life !
I imagine a way of life without machines
What a romantic life !
I imagine a day without women
What a quiet day of rest !
But when I imagine my own self without you
Who I am then …...

New Born Moon


     Laying low in the cloudless evening sky,

     Silver lit by the rapid setting sun,

     Where radiant Venus shines bright nearby,

     A waxing crescent, the moon’s month begun.

     A new born moon in the darkening sky,

     Set where the fading day at rest will lie.

May came and went, as did June,
Long had I waited and yet they departed too soon,
Summer solstice, my spiritual day.
It's meaningful and powerful, Nature in full,
Providing one day, a rest, a harmony, a momentary lull.
The Long Day stretched up far into the clouds,
The heavens even brighter with infinite Sun,
Then for ten magical minutes the sky and the land suspended as one.
The clock stops, seconds fail and I feel Life....
