Rest My Burning Heart
Rest My Burning Heart belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalThrough the door
(across the threshold)
I step and drop
my hunter’s case.
The other men’s faces
I stared through and lied,
the games I cheated
to know I’d win,
and the bounty I stole
To make my own…
All forgotten
in your embrace.
For as I end
each weary day,
I fall upon this
homely hearth
to rest my burning heart.

Beautiful and loving, the last stanza ties the whole piece together with such a powerful truth, that most would relate to.
