Tuck in under a blanket, love
Lay your heart to rest
Let go of any worries, love
Release each thought and bless
The journey that has brought you here
The trail wound far too long
Were you battered by the weather
Blowing hot then cold
Did the storms sweep you off your feet
Has exhaustion sapped your spirit
Were you tempted to give up
Give in
To doubt and fear and hopelessness
Have you had enough, love
Do you need some time to heal
Take a moment
Take your rest
Take your weariness and wariness
Set them to the side
For everything and everyone
Who loves you will still be there
If you rest your heart
The path will still be winding
And the road will still be long
The challenges are waiting still
For your strength and for your song
Bring your heart, love
To the altar of the peace
Light the candle
Say a prayer, love
Rest, my heart, in me
Rest my heart in thee
This steeple of our fingertips
Our hands were meant to be
Holding onto one another
In hushed serenity
We come home to one another
Every time we close our eyes
Breathing in each other
Banked embers
For tonight
The interest growing
Exponential
Safe
Secure
Through morning light
Rest
My heart
The dawn will break us
Soon enough
