Rest Easy.

Rest easy my soul.
Love still grows soundly while heaven looks on.
Rest easy.

See clearly my eyes.
Wisdom still teaches, when sight's worked upon.
See clearly.

Cease longing my mind.
Time is still counting what love has begun.
Cease longing.

Keep listening my ears.
Mem'ry still lingers where time's not outrun.
Keep listening.

Stay speaking my tongue,
Contact lasts longer when caring is won.
Stay speaking

Bide gently my heart.
Patience still battles while waiting's not done.
Bide gently.

Good advice seldom comes so beautifully presented. Wisdom wrapped in love. Lovely, Fay.

Susan Jarvis
Calming, sagacious advice given so gracefully and eloquently within your beautifully crafted words, Fay. Thank you. :)

All great reminders, I read somewhere that it's difficult for love to grow in a heart in turmoil... maybe Aurelius... Very apt for poets who do get carried away...

Sandra Martyres
A very calming and soothing write Fay... done in a very polished style that only you are capable of...

Alison Cassidy
This has the same 'satisfying' structure as a child's story book with its predictable (and very pleasing) repetition. I also like the formal language you employ which adds an almost (but not quite) religious quality to the poem. Rest Easy indeed. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
