PLACE OF REST
(a shadorma)
She rests in
the warm rays of the
setting sun.
Time has run
out on the dreams of her youth…
her end has begun.

WEARY
(a shadorma)
Reluctant
heart, inside your chest,
come with me.
I said I’d
share those heavy burdens, and
even give you rest.

Written for Carry On Tuesday Prompt #204: use part of the title of Pablo Neruda’s poem “Come with me, I said…”. Posted for day 65 in 100 Days of Spring – 2013.
A STELLAR DAY
with a smudge of delicious
fudge on my chin, and inquisitive
children tucked into bed,
exhaustion settles over me
my body urges my mind
to activate my evening mantra,
an effort to bring unity
to heart, mind, and body
I merge reality with dreams as
modern technology projects
sweet sounds in my ear,
my favorites sing me to sleep

A PLACE OF REST
(a shadorma)
Patiently,
she watches every
move, knowing
her moment
is near. Purring, she waits for
my lap to appear.
