It requires skill and meter
and a poet with very rare heart,
or he will tire and teeter.

is a heavy matter...
Die indeed is much lighter...

without understanding it,
without living softly...
Living life lightly

arduous treks at a colorless pace, 
as broken vessels detour
unwelcomed, roaming cure
forsaking loves allure 
heartaches fulfilling sorrows darkest space....

Tree trunk dulled the axe,
feller had to sharpen and wax,
apply strength twice as much,
to fell the tree as such,
all arduous deeds are about same,
you have to work hard,hard and hard,
honing,cutting and nibbling,
before they lead you to any fame....

Ultimately gathering from down on our knees.
Turkey and tensile; soon to be here;
Uniting of families as Christmas draws near.
Maple leaves falling; by many and one;
Nature announces; that winter will come...

HEAVY

when the greatness of life
feels arduous under mass
weight of onerous days
we pray in tunes
of blue to blank
	out the blaze
		of vehement

To follow your dreams
Continue to walk through the hazardous fire
No matter how arduous the battle may seem

Build your world and have confidence
Rise through those troubled waters
Remain focused and be blessed...

In the midst of the instinct to mate
she went sniffing around for a date
and once on the scent
all her energy spent
succumbed to spring’s arduous fate

It looks like a long arduous journey,
I get on the road and walk,
Dogged by dubious dilemma
Fear brewing in the pit of my stomach,
Where to?  I do not know!

Roused by a sharp and painful cry
A known tone from very nigh;
I'm amid the storm-safe in its eye
gracefully floating-where am I?

Regaining past as the oblivion fades
The arduous life staging numerous plays;
Though life seems unfair and hard to tew
Its a chance for me to start anew......
