I Just Need Some Rest

Post by Mellen12 » Wed Apr 29, 2009 11:40 pm

There be no place where we have gone
No rocks beneath our feet
Nor wicked sun to burn us dry
As we lie cooling by the stream.
A spring-like morning, in many aspects
Will give us what we need
Compare us to this morning light
So that you'll begin to dream.
I sketched his face with my soft hands
And stumbled over words
His heart began to melt with time
As bitterness occurred.
Slowly moving through the steps
I echoed what was best
But couldn't convince my love of this
That I just need some rest.
"A woman with the courage to step out into the unknown, risking temporary loneliness for a shot at lasting joy, is more than a "single." She's singular. Instead of defining herself by what she lacks - a relationship with a man - she defines herself by what she has: a relationship with God." ~from Dawn Eden's 'The Thrill of the Chaste'

I love the tone and feel, but am confused as to where I've been once finished reading it. Second time through didn't add any "gotchas". I'd type this as "abstract". As I said, I like it.
