I Rest in You

I Rest In You

Eyes open in a blackened room

The night still in it's adolescence

Mind racing to the day's events

Times past and the coming present

Then the thoughts cease moving

My mind frozen in place

By the image of it's choosing

The image of your face

The clanging auditory assault

Begins it's attack on serenity's shores

Then cacophony falls silent to the faint symphony

Of the sound of your life's breathing

The cold air has carries no scent

Olfactory nodes left reaching

Then, just a hint - the faint taste of your scent

Leaves me longing for your teaching

The portrait of your face returns my gaze

Dark eyes whispering my name

Inviting Delighting Inciting Igniting

And suddenly this is not a game

Eyes closed in a blackened room

The dawn's light will be here soon

Sleep escapes me once again

But I have my Rest in You
