Smoothing of a Name

Life becomes weighted as stones are placed upon the backs of men, till they bend. Pain from the weight makes us curse away pain makes us pray-pray away. pain welds a frown to the face. Eventually they will all go away nobody likes to breathe in another's pain. A smile is a pigmented trough where nuggets of life are often caught shining like Gods cavity and everything is ok until the next wave takes the nuggets away. Life is weighted. Even in death they weight your name with stones which is forgotten by the weight of time- In time your name fades away into the cool blue shadow of forgotten. life is heavily weighted.

Sometimes life can be weighty, wish we could all soar like eagles at times.
