Motion and Rest - Jean Toomer

birds fly and come to rest.
So would I move. So would I come to rest.
I have watched white birds wing and glide
between me and a blue sky.
I have watched white birds alight on a barn roof
and come to rest, instantly still,
effortlessly relaxed and poised,
in them no trace of future motion.
So would I come to rest, so should we
come to rest at quiet time.
