Rest

Rest, they say, will do you good;
But rest, I say, is hard.
To sit and lie,
Do nothing;
Fie,
Become a log of wood?

Rest, they say, will heal you fast;
But rest, I say, is hard.
No hands, no arms,
Do what, play yarns
'Til planking amuses last?

Today, tonight,
Tomorrow, we fight,
And build up all we have
To build, to bind
Leave nothing behind
And bring it to the gaff.

Unfinished.
