Yoke

Sense heavy yoke
That ever pokes


Bear with odd joke
In a strange stroke


Be willing now
To learn just how


Observe poise vain
In abstract pain


Look beyond mind
To dare new finds


Suffer vain clash
Of furious dash


Heart knows the way
Where fun meets play


Stillness knows best
The inner quest


Pain blooms the yoke
In sensuous strokes


Bitter makes sweet
A pleasant treat


Soul mellows heart
To sculpt clear art


Be in being
True sight seeing
