Rest Your Weary Bones

It’s a long day

         In a short life.

Time to rest these weary bones.

Stop this raucous, ranting, running

Gerbil ride I’m on.

 

Let the wheel turn by itself

Or slow to its cessation.

Even God took Sunday off, so

Who am I to question?

 

To rest is not to quit, and

A pause is not the end, but

A moment of reflection

Just before we start again is

A necessary interlude,

A quiet, soothing friend

Who will walk with me and

Talk with me and

Lead me round the bend.
