Swing Low

If an angel
came to me today
and offered to
carry my pain away
I'd offer a bucketfull
and request
a bucket full of happiness
in exchange.
Swing low.

Maybe you'll get lucky today.

Not to much to hope for. Would the angel's bucket have more happiness than your bucket of pain?

Ironic how a bucket of pain and a bucket of happiness look the same. Cool write!

Both might spill over some in the 'chariot' ride home.

I'm a Libra myself. I carry my buckets with the care of a Capone brew-boy.

Enjoyed your poetry very much James. It set me to ranting a bit though...my apologies.
