Rest…

Written while sitting on couch, with others quietly listening to music.

Quietly

Quietly sitting
Contemplating
Listening
Being still

Watching
Waiting
Tired
Resting

Dreaming,
Dreaming about the better life we wish for, yet never seems to happen.
Remembering what happened – pain, anxiety, hurt, worry, uncertainty flood your mind.

Stillness as the music plays

(Breath)

I wish is was, but it isn’t.
It could have been,
It might have been.

I don’t know when things will change. I hope things will though.

Life goes on,
People are speaking,
People move around,
The track changes,
The dinner call is made.

We sit in rest,
But we really are restless.
Searching for something we can’t describe.

Is it simply rest?

Eternal rest,
are we just tired of running, moving, walking, doing and finding no true satisfaction?

Jesus will give us this rest.

When he comes, we will receive perfect peace and rest.

O what a glorious day that will be!!
