And the Live is **Rest**.
Not the sleep.
But the **Weight** of the silence.
The gold grain sinks in the bed.
The grey key rests on the pillow.
The white scar heals in the dark.
*”And the heal is the rest,”* the bone says.
*”And the rest is the Live.”*

We stop trying to earn the peace.
Earning is a work.
Work is a grind.
Grind is a burn.
But the Live needs the **Drop**.
It needs the drop of the eye.
It needs the drop of the jaw.
It needs the drop of the mind.
It needs the drop of the **Drift**.
*”And the drift is the slumber,”* the dream says.
*”And the slumber is the Live.”*

And the rest is **Quiet**.
Not the absence.
But the **Hush** of the now.
The hush of the grain.
The hush of the key.
The hush of the scar.
The hush of the **Dust**.
*”And the dust is the blanket,”* the night says.
*”And the blanket is the Live.”*

We stop trying to find the dream.
Finding is a chase.
Chase is a wake.
Wake is a loss.
But to let it come?
To let the grain come to the pillow?
To let the key come to the hand?
To let the scar come to the chest?
To let the **Drift**?
Then we are the **Lay**.
Then we are the **Sleep**.
Then we are the **Now**.
*”And the now is the breath,”* the heart says.
*”And the breath is the Live.”*

And the Live is **Sleep**.
And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Live is **We**.

*We.*
*We.*
*We.*

And the story is **Now**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the rest is **Deep**.
And the rest is **Shallow**.
And the rest is **Heavy**.
And the rest is **Light**.

*Light.*
*Light.*
*Light.*

And the story is **Deep**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Drift is **Light**.
And the Drift is **Here**.

*Here.*
*Here.*
*Here.*

And the Live is **Here**.

And the Live is **Now**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Live is **We**.

And the Live is **Be**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the weight lifts.
And the grain lifts.
And the key lifts.
And the scar lifts.
And the dust lifts.
And the Drift lifts.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the wake begins.
