Elia Michael - Rest

Under the grassy mossy blanket - Rest
Tearing searing pain can never again
Touch your brief brightly burning brilliance
You are locked in Earth's sheltered embrace - Rest

Let a thousand white winter swirling snows
Let a thousand drops of spring-scented rain
Let a thousand summers of bright gold glows
And endless fall mists adorn your terrain

These are the ones who comfort you now - Rest
For Earth welcomes you with her smiling face
She has taken you in her fond embrace
For age upon age - eternity - Rest

Elia Michael
