REST IN THE CURVE OF THE WORLD TURNING

 

REST IN THE CURVE OF THE WORLD TURNING

Rest in the curve of the world turning

When the light leaves watch over you

With silver sweeping winds when the shadows shift

Into lullabies for the smallest creatures

shine breathing in a faint starlight

all silken in your dreams

That have found you

Bringing small and fragrant bouquets

Oh rest.

In the night so hushed and blessed

In the magnolia darkness.

In the rustling boughs of God.
