King Of Beasts

Truth
a heavy burden
speaking loudest
from exile

The distance
and confinement
like a magnet
to iron

Imploding
within you
when ready
for travel

The weight
of 
delivery
— the roar of the lion

Sometimes the truth is a heavy burden. Knowing when to let it out could be a bigger burden. Thanks for sharing. Sara K
