The Coat of Burden

Seasons given, time was served
  Still standing, she observed

Breathing in shallow glimpses 
  Peering through different lenses 

A new reflection in the mirror
  Something missing, once familiar

The coat of burden is not there 
 Now her feelings all laid bare.


Thank you David.
