I Rest

                                      Rest

 David wrote:
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." (Luke 2: 7)

I rest my eyes on the manger and that is it. . .I rest.

Somewhere quiet

beyond the seasonal hyperventilation,

 debt-inducing gift gorging,

 selfish inclinations,

I rest me here.
