The Long Trip 8 – Photos and Poetry 37 – Rest Awhile

Rest Awhile
Rest awhile on this bench,
Let your woes subside,
It’s there to be used not admired.
Where is everyone rushing to?
Running this way and that.
What is your hurry Mr.Nobody?
Can’t you see that there’s no turning back.
Stay still as a duck in rushing waters,
Ponder for a moment or two,
They can see tired eyes falling,
Stung by what you deem the best of the rest.
