Resting (Poem)

Resting

Because peace becomes

You when it's silent

And you look forward

To that silence that

Relieves :

Pain, anger, exhaustion

And give you settled

Introspection that helps

You breed compassion

For thyself.

For my ancestors

Who could not rest

In chains

So now they rest

In me.

Resting

Because peace becomes

You when it's silent

And you look forward

To that silence that

Relieves :

Pain, anger, exhaustion

And give you settled

Introspection that helps

You breed compassion

For thyself.

For my ancestors

Who could not rest

In chains

So now they rest

In me.
