Pack Poem

the burden of love weighs us down and throws our spine for a curve can't breathe a breath, might even drown or worse, maybe just loose our nerve to run like a ram for a highland crag with love's lush greenery far below with only the wind to be whispered to and a beautiful view of life's limbo but, steady we can find sure footing on the slopes of our dangerous actions and careless comments without putting ourselves on sides of opposing factions silently like a reliable pack animal we can tote and carry that heavy load as steadfast burrow or dromedary camel to bare love's weight down life's road packed in the sack or borne in the bag love's load presses the bones that carry yet light as the breeze flies it's flag a burden of love can be light and very easy to withstand, warm as your hand grasped gently on a cool winter's night carried strong, a load longed for and borne together knowing love's delight © Goode Guy 2011-09-20
