Lagging behind like a donkey gone lame
unable to integrate into new plans
my heart and the hearts of others I know
bends under the weight of commitment.

Down comes the rain or is it the pain
of the unconscious birth of insight
that pushes the limits of confinement
in a body once healthy and whole?

If not a limb then an organ, the skin,
retains disempowerment like a bath sponge
and soaks up disease instead of freedom
to give and receive true love’s honesty.

And life has no value, no meaningful worth,
during the process of insight’s rebirth
and those in the know can do nothing bold
to ease or hasten this internal journey.

But the donkey once lame will walk again
if the image of love is highlighted today
and carried within like a prescribed pill
to relieve the burdens of life.

The burdens of life; how constantly sure
they intrude and claim ownership rights
to my heart and the hearts of others I know
till love disappears and grows unhealthy cells
in the eternal body of soul!
