Rest your head here
You have walked many miles
Drink some of cold water
And gently loosen a sigh.
Rest your head here
You have seen many a days
Weary are your hands
And your hair is turning white.
Rest your head here
See how the summer sun glows
Your eyes are bleary
And your cheeks are hollowed out.
Rest your head here
Gentle is the moonlight
Calm your sullen thoughts a while
And ease out into the night.
Rest your head here
You have been parched too long
Starlight you have not seen
And have waited night to morn.
Rest your head here
The world is gone
You may have had great dreams
And may not have seen the storm.
Rest your head here
It has been raining too strong
Sorrow has crept in
And bitterness frails your form.
Rest your head here
I have been waiting for long
You have craved for company
And cheerlessly you have frowned.
Rest your head here
Your words are not strong
Let your pen rest a while
Tomorrow there is no dawn.

So much relief and reassurance,yet there is this underlying lamentation to it. I saw it as a mirage,of hope and belonging. The mirage being the person who yearns not to seek but to provide with comfort. What a joy to read! Thank you for sharing this. Great work!
