The Evaded Pain

Stroll with me on this stony life’s street
                    to that shiny pleasant mountain summit,
                    where these grottoes of life here below 
                    will not scare us with their shadowy claw.

                   This road is rough, with prickly thorns along
                   the way; with the shadows, dark and long.
                   And their touch unsettling our very fabric,
                   and what we recognize is fear in the psyche.

                   And reaching that shinny rosy mount summit
                   there are rays of hope we will find and meet, 
                   that shall tell us there is more to the evaded pain,
                   that we shall rush back to the painful plane.
