Not of Shining Stars
By: Joaquin de Jesus
Unlike the blazing glare of shining stars
The silent shade of trees surpasses all
Reviving like the strumming of guitars
Singing the tranquil breeze of cooling fall
For Rest cannot simply be found but sought
It is a dove that’s shooting in and out
Through tempest seas, extreme canyons, and naught.
But that cannot be what Rest is about
Like the creeping shadow, and not the stars
For tis not the spring, but the windblown fall
The bandages that heal most painful scars
Restores the pain of day during nightfall
The journey home at the end of a quest
Nothing compares to the healing of Rest
