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
