Don'T Work Too Hard

Don't Work TOO Hard!
The phrase, "Don't work TOO hard!" rolls off the tongue like breathing out into a vacuum 'vampires' dream (that sucks space dry between consumptive hearts). Some folks may shrug 'phrase' off as being vacuous but there is more! Its overtones symphonic to blessed ears that plumb curved rainbow's staff. But what is "work" and what's "too hard" (if you'll permit the ask)? I write this poem, love the task! The poet's bliss I'd not call work, would you? If gold's not there, some hearts get fed and ALL enriched by feelings mined as rhymes reveal their art to world. Chords poems strike are rarely seen! Frail leaves a poem sprouts (too) colored by the sun (some evergreen) survive a 'viewer drought,' reflect life's beauty, are a light that's shined into life's shadows at their best, still God's the judge of what's askew and what's more Right! Does 'phrase' bring note of jealousy into the light? It might! Or voice concern that I'm obsessed, rhymes barely worth a laugh? That too! Hint health's at risk? Moot point! Let path to God be open door that sinners (all) may grok God's love (APART from sex - ALL hidden parts)! Our labors be life's true reward! Man's 'Truth' seems more our point of view!
