The doorbell rings less
As dust assembles
On once polished seats
The old coffee pot
Misses a few beats
As cups gather hopefully
Voices linger
Held by the silence
Seeking a response
The phone chimes
A face time visitor
Fulfilling a duty
Soon they will share
Unvalidated memories
Speak of love
Their words will be lost
In the silence

Rest Now You Busy Mind
You've toiled with fears and concerns,
hopes and aspirations
Rest now you busy mind
You've busied yourself with (s)elf appointed things,
Instead of (S)elf appointed things.
Rest now you wild mind
You have run wild like a untamed horse
Unbridled to muse all your desires
Rest now you frantic mind
You have tried to think yourself
out of every uncomfortable Moment.
Rest now you tired mind
You've kept yourself awake many a night
Perseverating on to many disturbing thoughts
Broiled out of unvalidated feelings.
Rest now you weary mind
You've analyzed every minute detail
to mundane problems.
Rest Now you quiet mind
Peace and tranquility comes to you through the awareness of the workings of your mind.
