Then May I Rest
Unshed tears cloud my weary eyes
Wild pain screams out in my heart
Like a sea with broken peace
I rage from the depth, as I seek a rest
Everything is close and closed in
Life won't dance nor will it loiter
I sit boisterous and mute in its midst
Caught between sore joy and elated sorrow
Songs of the dead sound sonorous
For peace, for serene, O hear the melody
Weary of the unease of this world
For peace, for serene, let me sleep
Deferred hope weighs heavy on me
For peace, for fruition, I seek rest, a sweet release
