Lay to rest,
Thy weary head,
However the eyes close,
The breathing shall cease....

in summer time

under a cool set
mabe until after dark
SUMMER TREES
AND THE PARK...

he way lay to rest
under a wood desk
up high
in the sky
he came back 
from the cross rack
he died for our sin
its easter day he back to stay
HE WALKS AGAIN...

Which words may lay at rest,
While my heart still beats for her,
'Til my dying breath,
Lays a faint whisper?
All that has begun, 
Is a love in modest bloom, 
Like the rising sun,
Meant to light a sky of blue....

Blue butterfly ?? 
With wings of strength
So tender and graceful
Lay here, rest on my chest, 
Look at us, with this chance
To share our love and romance
We fly together in the sky 
You are my soul, my butterfly...

Lovely the dark, it truly is
The pact is strong, I follow to live
Happyness promised after death, im sure it will happen
Excited I will be, to finally lay to rest... in longing harmony
With bright lit fires at my feet, I trust in him, to watch over me....

Upon the branch of wasted nothing
Where hampered flight upon crushed wing
Seldom do days come shorter
When seldom is there reason to sing
But to push out from unhappy nest
Without course to fly
Better to fall and lay at rest
Then yearn for unreciprocating sky...

Pulling together the pieces
Our broken hearts lay bare
A needle and thread is what we need
To rescue what is left, we share 

The constant tears steam forth
Memories of years gone by
Finally you lay to rest
We all get our final goodbye

RIP Kiwi 1 Nov 2017...

absolute perfection of spirit 
trickles into organic form 
soul mindfully aligns 
with the source
ascent is assured
what matters is time
requiring repeated rebirth
until we lay to rest all cravings 

thus stillness is the remedy
and silence the healing balm...

When sounds that gently linger do decay,
    Each cadence, ever softly fades away.
    Those echoes fill my heart, within my breast,
    Where words that speak of beauty lay at rest.
    To be recalled by me, one day in time,
    And simply rearrange them into rhyme...

I lay to rest as I know this is my final moment
I quickly find my blade 
I hope this time I will cut deep enough
Deep enough to end my life
As I think of this cut as another to heal the wound of love
Another broken heart ready for the pain to be released
So as I lay to rest I know this is my final moment...

My hands are blessed
For all said and felt
My words in symbols stressed
My inspiration could have been vain.
 
My hands are blessed
For all, a peculiar crest
The right and the left
Wield potentials so plain.
 
My hands are blessed
For all, my passions' zest
Ball point crafts lay to rest
Wandering expressions in my brain....

If we could only accept the truth
The truth about our youth
With every day that passes by
We grow older until we die
Although fighting age is not a crime
It truly is a waste of time
So instead of why and how
Focus on the here and now
For the key is to live your best
Before you die and lay to rest

Tears


                                       sand castle crying
                                   in sun rays, waiting calmly
                                         in seashore's eddy

                                  until winds and waves of prey
                                     lay to rest his final tears

She is like a rocking chair
Back and forth with a cherry air,
Humming hum-hum-hum
Like a carnival full of merry fun;
 
Her kisses on my face
Crafted a thin smiling trace,
The croissant she baked
Is all gone: the plate is naked.
 
She calls my name
But it could be the same
As if she just said:
Come here now, young lady:
 
Mommy’s lap is my nest
Where I love to lay and rest....

Piter patter on the roof,
Splashing puddles cuddle together,
Clouds free from their burden,
blessed upon for the receivers.

Tumbling to the ground,
undetermined path for the future.
waiting and falling,
With no strait away,

Like tiny petals drifting down
Water dancing in the air
a ballet of liquids,
Swooping and leaping in the air
when they are done they lay to rest....

With glimmer of hope
and heaviness of heart
we light a candle,
to shine away
for wandering souls
that they may find
their way .
To lay to rest
their weary heads
and console
their troubled minds.
Release their souls
from life’s torment
and find
a peaceful home.
We light a candle
to bring us hope
that one day
we shall know,
where we will be
as one family
and know where
our souls go....

In nature's dust, I bear my curse
A son scourged, and without cause
I lay to rest, in Gaia's breast
A place of shame, my sinner's crest.
I toss and turn, my sleep disturbed
A dream so real, my mind perturbed
In it I see, Nature came to me
She came to me, to set me free
Aloud I said, I aim to please
She blew a kiss, a gentle breeze
And I wake anew, A righteous man
My sins are gone, aclean I am....

Penetrates through walls of doubt,
Illimitable halt of financial drought,
Loaded up with joys continuous sway,
Liquefied gold drowns out clouds of gray.

Originality springs like wild flowers,
Formality is gone by its potent power.

Lay to rest all that’s dead and gone,
Igniting dreams while carrying them on,
Filling forever in all that I see,
Executing wicked forces that would try to stop me.

This path they say is tough
though rough, some of `em say is bliss
those that have not seen, see they want to
those that have seen it all, teach they want to
if a man dies, will he live again?
do life and death have anything in common?
grandpa`s advise will always bring in some fright
get your shoes ready, cos` the world may end in the night`s hour
now this is the advise
"As you lay your rest, so you will pass through it"...

I got really sick
Or else I was old,
I need to go now
My owners were told.

It happened so quick
I just went to sleep,
I hurt no longer
My owners would weep.

I went to heaven
And barked at the door,
"Please let me come in"
"I can play once more.

I know my owners
Are really so sad,
I usually was good
Yet sometimes was bad.

I had a good home
For that I was blessed,
I'll seem them again
When they lay to rest....

I’ve been talking to myself lately
Well is it me
His eyes are glazed over
And I’m talking to a faceless stranger
Once again
Trapped in my mind
Where reality is a fairy tale
And poems shake the trodden earth
The footsteps buried under the song
The echoes hiding under the pebbles
Where all their heads lay to rest
And familiar faces gather as strangers
And silently cry 
As their eyes scream
All the words they couldn’t say...

The Erie Lackawanna.
Was a friendly mamma! 
The friendly service route.
Ran across the Southern Tier of New York.
Then across the Susquehanna.
Choo Choo went the train.
Down along the lower part of the state.
The great flood of 72...
Caused a bankrupt attitude, to date.
Now the tracks, they lay at rest.
Silencing all..by whos rails they quest..

This is a day of new beginnings:
tick-tock
time to remember and move on
time to lay to rest the pain that's gone
time to achieve
time to believe
time to care
time to share
time to know
time to show
time to do what's right
time to time to stop the fights
time to love 
time to pay attention
time to stop the hurt
time to be happy
time to feel great
time to live my life
time to shine
time to live a life
a life that's mine...

Day to remember those who perished
In wars and skirmishes abroad
Let their images be cherished
By those who knew them from the squad

To pin a pennant of "Old Glory"
In earth where heroes lay in rest
Their lives were short, but what a story
May their memories be blessed

Let's honor them as time is going
We move afar from battles fought
They gave it all, and we're bowing
Our heads; in angst, respect and thought
