The Acceptance

The acceptance In the dark, narrow road a horse followed him like a starving dog Its rib cage was showing, and the horsey face had the sad look Of one unable giving vent to the eternal grief of being a burden. He walked into the church found a confession boot and began Talking, as he did a strange light filled the boot and he understood Everything, without consciousness he would not be human, Only like a psychopath who feels nothing and has no emotions. Lifted by the revelation and said aloud: “I’m a human being.” The burden was left behind the horse had gone he was forgiven by his acceptance of being a humble person who did the best he could in the journey through life.
