| Category - Emotion | | A Poem from the The Poet and His Thoughts Collection | | So That I May Find Rest - Viewed 431 Times | David Devaney
Website
July 03, 2007 |
There are moments in the depth of the night
When the darkness and the fear
Invade my spirit and I lie awake
Seeking only the whispered silence of precious sleep
There is no resolution, no reconciliation
No certain way to end this mind felt
Turmoil and quietly proceed into the
Soothing and restful moments of true slumber
It matters not the method or the formula
The potion or the apothecary
For I am destined always to lie restless and
Fearful of the consequence of the darkness
Why must this sleeplessness be
A never ending part of who I have become
But whom I choose not to be
For without slumber there is only madness
Protect me God from this darkness
Lead me into the serenity of my years
Cradle me now in the sweetness of your heart
So that I may find rest | | © 2007 David Devaney |
