    What is The Rest?

    This question which evokes a thought
    Has answers that may save a soul
    A peace of mind is often sought
    To fully seek this lofty goal

    Though clearness sits upon a star
    And far away it seems to stare
    These lonely looks it gives from far
    When sitting high above the air

    It's so elusive, like a whim
    But sweet it is when it is near
    These questions seem to form again
    For life, it seems, is never clear

    For decks are always stacked against
    And courage never stills the fear
    This life inflicts with no defense
    And courage sleeps inside a tear

    But more than pain and lesser bliss
    And less than hell and northern space
    It's more than all of that and this
    It's what we feel when feeling grace

    So kneel thee down for one more prayer
    Then cross the hands across the chest
    But lay him down your sould to bear
    And when you die, you'll get the rest
