Heavy My Burdens

Relational metaphoric poem with an uplifting twist.

Eyelids droop and arms hang like cow tails

They are too heavy to lift

Heavy my burden. Woeful my heart

Lids snap high and large wet eyes dash back and forth

Arms swat wildly at the problems on my back like flies

Sloshing through muck and mire, through all this bullshit

Finally I drag myself toward the green grasses

A nice meal
Some relaxation with a nightlight of stars and a lush verdant blanket to cushion a weary body

Tomorrow I will pick up my sorrows and my strife

They feel cumbersome and oppressive

But I remember that my green pasture awaits as I trudge along
