"Resting"--By Kelly Deschler--United States

"Resting"

My mind is in need of rest
just for a moment, brief,
a silent little repose here
will surely bring to me relief.

My heavy eyelids gently fall
and shut out the entire world,
my hair lays down and relaxes
even though it has been curled.

I breathe in slowly and deeply
my heartbeat settles down,
my ears can hear around me
the wind's soft whispering sound.

It lifts me to a far off place
where clouds become my bed,
I reach out to grab another
like a soft pillow for my head.

You can only imagine
what I can only see,
as I dream a beautiful dream
that was meant just for me.

  1. Hello, Kelly! Welcome to Whispers! Your poem is soft and gentle like a cool summer breeze. It reminds of me going on a picnic with cherished family and falling asleep beneath the Dogwood tree in the gentle breeze. A cute poem, with fun imagery. Hope to read more!

  5. Dear Kelly,

    Such a beautifully written poem to take in as one is ready to retire for the evening. I especially enjoyed the third and forth stanza's. I welcome you to Whisper's and I hope to read more of your poetry here.
