A Time to Rest . In my ear Her gentle voice “Time is dear Now make your choice: The day has gone You gave your best Press on press on Or take some rest?” . Little bird With siren song Say no word The day’s not long “I’ve much to do This is no jest The hours are few I dare not rest” . Bird ignores My weak protest “To sleep and snore Are wisdom best Lay down your head What dreams you’ll make To bed to bed For goodness sake!” . — By Doodleslice #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poems #sleep #rest #night #work #atlarts #atlantapoetry #atlanta
