A Call for Rest

The rains have returned, the days 
growing shorter and shorter. Evenings 
on the couch, coziest socks, softest blankets—
kitties on laps, wool sweaters, fleece, 
campfires in the backyard with friends,
good books and more good books. Red maple
in the front yard beaming its glory. Lit candles, 
of course. And fairy lights. Deeper prayers.
The kettle is whistling, can you hear it?
Earlier and earlier to bed. It’s time
to give sadness some space. And longing
too. Time to let go. Time to rest.
Do you feel it too?
