laid to rest
~
i wonder if my time has come
have i lingered in this life too long
where did it go wrong
where did it not
i could never quite tell if i was getting ahead
or if i was clawing my way out
it was always too close to call
i could chase a butterfly and run into a bee
always blind sided by things i couldn't see
now i want to put everything away
lay down the apples and the violets and all the rest
lay them to rest
i need to rest
everything that ever was a part of me
must be laid to rest forever within me
forever with me
i have lingered here in this life too long
i do believe my time has come
to move on

Moving on the right way of course... I too like the way this poem ends but I also like the way it starts, moving full circle.
