Here I Will Rest

image: ParkeHarrison


I’ve gone round and round
until my excuses
and arguments
and lack of good sense
have twined into
a comfortable delusion.
Here I will rest.
     Shh!
Here, I will rest.

This is a Magpie Tale. Go here to read other tales. Also, if you want to have your socks blown off, check out my husband's Magpie here - wow!

    So many of us build nests of 'comfortable delusion'. But, I hold my tongue this time. Shh!

  6. Nice movement in this poem. I might, if anything, work with the line break to slow it down at the very end so that the reader "rests with you. " Do you get what I mean?

  10. This appeals to me. I was never good at delusion. Always met things head on no matter how unpleasant. Then I had a teenager. Delusion can be nice.

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
