The harvest started with a group of kings
they chose a jester to fulfill their needs
who would tickle their fancy
entertaining their godly hierarchy...

juggling their immortal spirits.
He would throw them spheres of earthly talent
they would catch them and examine each one,
and return to him his rightful share...

for them he would be their terrestial mascot.
For us he would just be another
silly, comic tiller of the plains,
entertaining the celestial gods...

and his harvests would become undone
and rest forever under the horizon's sun.

ecrivan,
I like what you did, however it's easy to see you don't know farmers...at harvest tiome there is not rest.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Keth,

I understand farmers work in late summer early autumn, there is no rest for them but the rest referred to here is meant to mean 'stay' and that should be clear.
