For The Sunday Muse Prompt #92 and Matthew 11:28-30.

***
Beyond the drying
and the dying
salvation calls;
the distant shimmer
of light cast
by the morning sun
a whisper to the weary;
Come, draw nigh
all ye who are heavy laden,
who bear the burden
of a common life
around their neck.
Hope and Haven
is the promise,
if we dare
go through the door
into the way.
