No More Suffering

NO MORE SUFFERING

                 Holding back the bygone years
                 on rumination in vain?
                  Forgetting past stress and strain
                  I rejoice. Mind is clear.
                
                 Holding back the flowing tears,
                    thorny bushes to remain?     
                    No use. I clean my garden
                    removing weeds with sharp shears.
                    
                  I have wasted all the years,
                  worries almost to be slain.
                   New hope and zeal to regain.
                    overcoming barriers.  

                  I have wasted all my tears
                  not to shed more, but refrain!
                   Neither to rue nor complain,
                   but to enrapture self! Cheers!
