Rest

Rest

by Joshua Silva

Under moonlit skies,

Only you and I,

To touch your lips,

To kiss your eyes,

Under clouds of gray,

Wet with rain,

To caress your body,

To hold you again,

Under burning sun,

United as one,

To lock in embrace,

To never be undone,

To gain these dreams

And so much more

There is nothing less

I could ever settle for

You are the most beautiful jewel

Crown of the Earth

You are rare and priceless

Beauty of the highest worth

In my life I want nothing more

And many men have died for less

But for you I lay down my sword

To you I give my life until death

For your love has made me strong

Stronger than any man could be

But this strength is not for war

But to endure this Fated journey

And should Fate be kind

She will make your breath

Like wings to fly me

Into your beautiful arms

Into your beautiful eyes

Into your beautiful heart

Into your beautiful night

And there I will lay my head so softly upon your chest

And it is there, after so many battles,

After so long a journey,

It is there that Fate shall grant me...

Rest
