Notes About The Poem

Life

"One word frees us from the weight and pain of life. That word is love"
             "Sophocles, Greek Poet"

Scatter my thoughts inside the heart of love
they yearn to find peace from a life of pain
and feast with love whether far or above
to free myself from the weight of life's chain

Where I may heal my soul, find blissful peace
and know that within there is a garden
where the weight of the world will come to cease
as all manner of pain can be pardon
While my days are spent on a spinning wheel
that wishes to heal me with serenity
where I may find grace through the love I feel
guide me on my path with love's energy

There's freedom and peace when love is the choice
when the weight and pain of life have no voice
